- **Event Name**: The Full English - Written and Performed by Melanie Branton
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 12:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists are delighted to welcome back Melanie Branton to Wolverhampton as the first show of the day at Arena Theatre Fringe Room for Wolverhampton Literature Festival.  This show was part of Midlands Fringe in the Summer and it was so good we thought it deserved another outing.  It's the perfect piece of Fringe Theatre for a literature festival!  And if you didn't get to see it in the Summer make sure you don't miss out this time.  We think you'll love it.

The Full English

"It's a bish-bosh, wish-wash, car crash mishmash!" 

Ever wondered where the word ‘hoo-ha’ comes from? Why there ain’t no party like a double negative party?  And why ‘bead’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘bread’, ‘machine’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘nine,’ and don’t get started on ‘yearly’ and ‘early’?  

From gangs of gung-ho Anglo-Saxons and smelly Vikings to Covidiots and Instagram influencers, from enormous vowel movements to katsu curries self-isolating in the Twitterverse, this one-woman show by spoken word artist and linguistics nerd, Melanie Branton, explores the history of the our lovely language through the media of performance poetry, silly hats and dad jokes.

A celebration of the good, the bad and the downright bizarre in the history of our glorious, multicultural tongue.

“A masterclass in diction, delivery and engagement” – Midlands Fringe.

“Funny, informative and clever, The Full English will appeal to pretty much everyone who uses words and likes to laugh” – Fiona Paterson for Reviews Hub London
