MISTRANSLATED! Buxton Fringe Standup Comedy
About this Event
Show
Have you ever accidentally told a colleague you like her tiger? Or tried to show off your secondary school French - with disastrous consequences?
“MISTRANSLATED” is a stand-up comedy show about the absurd and hilarious side of speaking (and mis-speaking) languages. Part travelogue and part master class in getting fluent fast, it features tales of languages mistakes and the perils of relying on Google Translate. Because who needs AI when you can show off your basic Mandarin to steal the heart of someone else’s grandmother?
Got your own mistake stories from that one time in Italy you accidentally said "ano" instead of "anno"? Audience members are invited to share their stories to remind us all of the hilarious pitfalls that befall every language learner.
MISTRANSLATED debuted at the Tallinn Fringe and since then has been toured in Southeast Asia and around Europe where audiences have described the show as --
"A breath of fresh air"
"Full of countless laughs!"
"She'll have you laughing in languages you didn't even know you understood"
"She charmed the audience with her librarian-esque persona to the point where even the Bulgarians couldn't remember a single swear word."
