“It’s a bish-bosh, wish-wash, car crash mishmash!”

Ever wondered where the word ‘hoo-ha’ comes from? Why there ain’t no party like a double negative party? And why ‘bead’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘bread’, ‘machine’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘nine,’ and don’t get me started on ‘yearly’ and ‘early’?

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.
