Derek Mitchell: Double Dutch

The blurb…

“Double Dutch means gibberish – it was coined because English people in the 15th century couldn’t understand Dutch people. Because Dutch really does sound like English backwards and upside down. To add insult to incomprehensibility, Dutch people always say what they’re thinking because they are blisteringly honest and have no shame, which is horrifying to English people because they have so much shame. Americans meanwhile have no shame but only tell you what you want to hear…”

What we say…

The American character comedian says that he’ll make sense of ‘all the cultural nonsense’ between nations. He’s lived in the US, in The Netherlands and in England and so knows what he’s talking about. He can also be seen in the dark narrative character comedy, ‘Goblin’.
