Combining more genres than any other show, Dirk Darrow: NCSSI is the world’s only one-man film-noir comedy magical mind-reading murder mystery!

This is an ambitious show, uniquely integrating magic into a murder story without losing the plot. Marvel at Dirk’s astonishing detective skills, as he makes seemingly impossible deductions from clues supplied by you, the spectator! Witness supernatural feats that will blow your mind! Gasp at his shameless exploitation of grand hyperbole! Think Boardwalk Empire meets X-Files meets Naked Gun.
