The story of the affable young man Tim is a compelling one; we are taken through his early teen years of fantasising about school teachers and falling in love with girls at the supermarket, smartly incorporating this to explain how he now sits at his unfulfilling desk and making inadequate coffee for his boss. It seems the similarities between the two are an aptitude for giving their hearts away to easy and an ambivalent love for making sad music as a result.

The talented star of the one man show makes impressive use of props and music to guide the audience through the different time periods of his life; the music being of particular importance to the narrative and also clearly where his true passions lie. This show is mainly a melancholy understanding of fist love, lust and desire linked to the reliving of previous events which have brought life to its current position. There is also an attempt to pinpoint the moments when life had taken a different direction without his notice; I guess it must have been love!

His Name Is Tim; Zoo @ The Roxy. 4.00pm.
