DEREK MITCHELL: DOUBLE DUTCH
plus support
Whelan’s Main Venue • Mon 5th May 2025
Fresh off a sold-out, five-star Edinburgh run and over 120 international performances, this debut hour of stand-up and characters from the ‘out-and-out hilarious’ (The Stage) Derek Mitchell is a high-octane exploration of cultural clashes between Dutchness, Englishness and Americanness.
Mitchell’s online sketches have generated over half a billion views worldwide. But with his trademark physicality and vivid characterisations he brings cultural quirks to life live onstage in this laugh-out-loud celebration of what it means to belong – or not.
Reviews:
“An absolutely brilliant, jam-packed hour of frenetic accents, absurdist character comedy, and crowd work worthy of Nobel Peace Prize.” “Mitchell is quite possibly one of the wittiest and most physical comedians.” ★★★★★ A YoungISH Perspective
“Derek Mitchell uses his huge smile and slapstick physicality to great effect.” “Mitchell is an expert storyteller, hilariously throwing in pitch-black asides as he skilfully switches accents.” ★★★★★ Shadows on the Wall
“Hysterically funny and unpredictable, Mitchell is truly one-of-a-kind.” ★★★★★ Broadway Baby
★★★★ The Comic’s Comic
★★★★ The Wee Review
