About this Event
Join wordsmith Adam Sharp as he journeys around the world in idioms, proverbs and general nonsense. Learn unusual insults from France (You are a potato with the face of a guinea pig), how to hurry someone up in the USA (You're going as slow as molasses in January) and what they call a shark in Vietnam (fat fish).
Drawing on his book, The Wheel is Spinning but the Hamster is Dead, Adam will present fascinating, ridiculous and hilarious translations from every corner of the globe.
Here's a taster:
Let's get this show on the road
Or:
Let's saddle the chickens (German)
On with the butter (Icelandic)
Forward with the goat (Dutch)
