Mistranslated is an interactive stand-up comedy show about the absurd and hilarious side of speaking (and misspeaking) languages, delivered by a polyglot comedian who does comedy in seven languages. This show is a masterclass in how to (badly) learn a foreign language, offering hacks and tips while featuring tales of languages fails, tonal triumphs and finally being able to understand what those Thai masseuses are saying. It's all in English, but with no promises you won't walk away knowing how to bargain in Indonesian or chitchat about dried fish in Norwegian.
