I asked Derek to be the closing act on our social safety festival. His performance touched upon the feelings, insecurities, and experiences of international students in the Netherlands. One of the students later shared 'I felt so seen!' which is exactly the feeling we were hoping to achieve! Next to him being very funny, working with Derek was also handled in a professional way by him and his team.

Working with Derek, aka Double Dutch, was absolutely phenomenal and a dream come true! The night was sold out and the experience was not necessarily 'usual' as we hosted it in a restaurant rather than theatre. Despite this, Derek delivered an engaging, fun performance, interacting with the audience and making the show personal and unique.

Derek Mitchell was the perfect fit for our University of Amsterdam opening day, blending sketch comedy and crowd work into a welcome our international students still talk about as their first day of school. He took real care to understand our programme and tailored his material accordingly, making him a standout part of our introduction activities. Beyond the performance itself, the booking process was seamless, with a personal call from his team ensuring every detail was right and clear communication throughout. Thank you, Derek, for delivering not just a wonderful show, but an all-star experience from start to finish.
