    #024 Derek Scott Mitchell

    Thank you for downloading this episode of The Young Comedians Podcast where I chat to Derek Mitchell. Derek Mitchell is a young talent who is quickly rising to be one of the most talked-about comics on the scene. His TikToks have gained over 200k likes and millions of views. Among other excellent sketches, Derek takes a uniquely funny angle to Dutch people and culture which has helped him reach huge audiences online. His show ‘Goblin’ is described as a dark, theatrical comedy which meets nostalgia. Set in 2007, it tells the story of Eliot, an emo kid with an imaginary goblin who just wants to be loved. Peppered with period details, Eliot's life takes a series of turns when he meets a much older reality TV star and begins transforming into something truly horrifying... the co-owner of a spin studio. In this episode, Derek speaks about everything, from his Dutch versus English attitudes, to George’s new blonde hair.

His accolades include winning the Leicester Square Sketch Off and writing for BBC Radio, as well as hosting on 'Comedians Getting Drunk Playing Panel Shows'.

Ted is fantastic at finding the joy, humour and characters in the beautiful game in a way that’s accessible and funny for everyone.
