Australia’s favourite psychic detective is back! More murders! More explosions! More punctuation!!!!!!!!#@%$! Returning to Melbourne International Comedy Festival after 10 years on the case, this is the fan favourite stand-alone Dirk Darrow show.
Wowing crowds the world over, this hilarious ‘private dick’ is part comedian, part mind-reader, part storyteller and all gritty retro 1930‘s film-noir! Think The Penguin meets Naked Gun meets Dynamo. Based on a story by The Maltese Falcon writer Dashiell Hammett.
