About Erica Hates Fun
MISTRANSLATED is an interactive stand-up comedy show from Erica Hates Fun, presented at Just Up The Stairs, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show explores the absurd and hilarious side of speaking — and misspeaking — languages, delivered by a polyglot comedian who performs comedy in seven languages. A masterclass in how to badly learn a foreign language, it offers hacks and tips alongside tales of linguistic failure and tonal triumph. The show is entirely in English and runs 60 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, with tickets from £6.
Why see this show?
A comedy show that is as educational as it is funny — and entirely honest about the chaos of learning languages badly. Interactive, warm and accessible, this is a genuinely original Fringe premise done with real commitment.
