Actor-Comedian Derek Mitchell Launches "Double Dutch" Comedy Tour Across the U.S. This May

PR Newswire · 04/15 13:00

NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Derek Mitchell, known for his transformative characters and razor-sharp cultural observations, is bringing his acclaimed comedy to the U.S. stage with the Double Dutch tour. The three-city run kicks off May 26th at Second City's New York Main Stage, followed by performances in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Mitchell's Double Dutch blends sharp wit with heartfelt insight, offering a fresh, comedic take on cultural identity and the nuances of life lived between nations. Having spent the past decade immersed in both Dutch and British cultures, Mitchell brings audiences into his world through a range of vivid characters and sharply observed scenarios.

"I think of myself as an actor who does comedy," says Mitchell. "Studying people—specifically the way they speak and use language, the way they take up space, and how these things are culturally coded—is an important part of everything I make. Living abroad has allowed me to study and absorb these parts of Dutch and British cultures, and this has now become an important part of my work."

Double Dutch is a character-driven journey that explores the humor in our differences and the deeper humanity that connects us. With a style that's both intelligent and disarmingly honest, Mitchell's affection for Dutch culture shines through, making for a show that is as thoughtful as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
