Something Rhymes with Purple on Stage

Delve into a world of words with Something Rhymes with Purple on Stage based on Gyles Brandreth and Susie Dent’s award-winning podcast.

Expect theatrical antics from the show’s affable hosts as they bring their infectious love of words to the stage with all the trademark repartee and wordplay of the podcast. Combining much-loved podcast segments including ‘Susie’s Trio’, Gyles’ poetry, the bizarre origins of sayings, lots of myth busting and a deep dive into our language and expressions, each show will focus on a different theme and will be recorded to create special live episodes of the podcast.

Uncover the hidden origins of language, understand how and why we use the words we use, enhance your vocabulary, and test your knowledge with two of the wittiest and finest wordsmiths.

“Susie and I first met more than 25 years ago on Countdown. We love exploring the world of language together and we love meeting other people who love words. That’s why we’re so excited about Something Rhymes with Purple on Stage, it’s going to be a party for all our fellow language lovers!” Gyles Brandreth
