2 Ruby Knockers, 1 Jaded Dick: A Dirk Darrow Investigation

NOTE: This show was reviewed at the 2014Winnipeg Fringe Festival.

STARS

Tim Motley has the gumshoe voice down pat and he's no slouch when it comes to magic either. It's a perfect pairing, wise ass, slightly ribald one liners in the private eye style with some funny audience participation for mentalism and card magic.

There are so many jokes some are sure to fall flat and a couple that take the tone from entendre to uncomfortable should just be dropped. But if you want a Fringe show that's impressive, easy on the brain and a bit of saucy fun for young (not too young) and old this is a safe, sure bet.

The crowd was buoyant and chatty as they filed out. It's sure to have very strong word of mouth.
