Tim Motley, aka Dirk Darrow, has been performing for many years, and he knows what he’s doing – perhaps too well. His show Dirk Darrow: Magic of Future Past attracted its fair share of kids -perhaps because of the afternoon timeslot for the performance, and this was perhaps his Achilles heel.

There are moments when the burgeoning tide of sexual innuendo is about to inundate us, but it pulls up short and quickly and leaves you a smirk on your face and a desire to send the kids out to buy ice-cream! ........
