An award winning young storyteller in 2007, Tim is one of a new generation of performance storytellers. His performance style is energetic and his composition knows no bounds. Striving always to innovate, his work draws on our international narrative inheritance, literature, the ever-changing cityscape of his home, fairytale, myth and legend. His performances merge the contemporary with the ancient with enviable integrity and a touch of genius. Whether in conversation with refugees, appearing live at international festivals across Europe or using the internet to reach across continents, Tim has a glint in his eye and a skill to entrance and entertain. He also sings. . .and plays the ukulele.

Crick Crack Club, The - Old Nick

Synopsis:
Lucifer, Old Scratch, Old Hob, Beelzebub, The prince of Darkness, He, Himself, Old Nick... you can call him what you like, but the devil is still the devil. A spotters guide would no doubt suggest you keep an eye out for give-always such as cloven hooves, hairy britches, a tail-coat worn in vain attempt to hide a tail, a tall dark top hat, a pale face prone to hot flushes, and a slight whiff of sulphur... but that all sounds rather too obvious. Three performances take to the stage at the Soho Theatre to indulge in the decadent company of the devil, through fairytale, myth, urban legend and everything in between.
