Brace yourselves for a night of razor-sharp wit, flawless mimicry, and side-splitting cultural commentary as Derek Mitchell, the social media sensation with over 65,000 Instagram followers, brings his debut UK tour Double Dutch to Brighton’s Dome on 13 June 2025.
Fresh off a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where his unique blend of stand-up and character work dazzled audiences and critics alike, Derek Mitchell is set to explore the cultural quirks, misunderstandings, and moments of identity crisis that shape our everyday interactions.
Born in the United States, now based in England, and with a devoted fanbase in the Netherlands, Derek’s international experiences provide the foundation for his hilarious and perceptive observations. From airport encounters with “manic pixie dream immigrant” stereotypes to the surprising confessions he’s heard from strangers mid-flight, Double Dutch is a masterclass in dissecting the absurdities of human interaction.
“A marvellous mimic, lithe and perceptive, with a serpentine quality… each of his accents is flawless… a wide-ranging exploration of how identities – national, sexual, and personal – are formed and expressed.” – Chortle
“Hilarious – a wonderful array of characters, deliciously portrayed.” – LMAOnaise
As the title suggests, Double Dutch dives into the culture of gibberish, taking aim at the way we talk past and through each other, often without realizing it. Mitchell’s irresistible charisma and uncanny ability to embody a variety of characters have made this show one of the most talked-about live comedy experiences of the year.
