"It's a bish-bosh, wish-wash, car crash mishmash!"From gangs of gung-ho Anglo-Saxons and smelly Vikings to Covidiots and Instagram influencers, from enormous vowel movements to katsu curries self-isolating in the Twitterverse, this one-woman show by spoken word artist and linguistics nerd, Melanie Branton, explores the history of the our lovely language through the media of performance poetry, silly hats and dad jokes.
You’ll be invited to heckle Vikings and play Simon Says with a bossy bishop, but the show also doesn’t shy away from the more unsavoury chapters of the past, in a celebration of the good, the bad and the downright bizarre in the history of our glorious, multicultural tongue.
“Another triumph…remember the name Melanie Branton… She’s bostin’ bab!” Wolverhampton Express and Star
“A wonderfully eccentric, sharply intelligent, and surprisingly moving evening” *****A Young(ish) Perspective website
“Energetic and kinetic, she has the enthusiasm of Joyce Grenfell, the forthright incisiveness of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the wit of John Hegley and the surreal, prop-rich creativity of Simon Munnery.” **** The Reviews Hub
