Tongue twister is a show where different tongue twisters in different languages are performed by a man who doesn't really know the languages.

In the performance, several costumes and some props are used, these are used when tongue twisters are said. These serve both as an explanation of what he is saying, but also to create a bit of fun. He moves, or acts like what the tongue twisters say. It is a comical performance because many funny tongue twisters are said. The actor does not know all the languages, so it happens that he says the phrases wrong, because they are so difficult to say. That's part of it, because it makes the show more humorous.

We think this was a fun performance where you can ponder and have fun with the pronunciation. This, together with the unique and funny movements and costumes, creates a humorous and curious atmosphere. One explores the weird and funny sides of different languages, because through their strange tongue twisters, they may have something in common.

This was a good show and worth seeing. There are several tongue twisters that you haven't heard before, and when you combine that with funny costumes and weird sounds, this becomes a performance that entertains the audience.
