letsdoubledutch

Letsdoubledutch!     A very strange title, I know, but it is the name of an extremely funny and very clever series of acts written and performed by a comedian called Derek Mitchell.

Derek Mitchell came from the United States of America and lived in the Netherlands for ten years. I believe he currently lives in the United Kingdom.    He is married to a Dutch person.

The term 'Double Dutch' originated in 15th century England, when the English found Dutch and German speakers incomprehensible.   

Derek Mitchell creates various characters and sketches based on Dutch people and the language, and performs them on stage and also through social media. sites.      If you type in @letsdoubledutch or Derek Mitchell into your search engine you will find his sketches. 

Aaron and Kylie were fortunate to buy tickets for his show in Amsterdam, which was an extra one due to all the previous shows being booked out.

It was a long drive to Amsterdam to see an evening show but so well worth it.

Kylie took a photograph of Aaron, Walter and me, before the theatre started to fill with people.   Kylie sat with Mia, as it was not possible to get five seats together.

Walter and me.    Successful selfies.

After the show Derek Mitchell met people who wished to have their photograph taken with him.   The queue was very long.

One of the skits was a story about walking with a rollator, so Kylie took a photograph of us , with Derek Mitchell and the rollator in the centre.   He noticed us and gave us a big smile.

A little bit of fun and laughter.
