Mirfandas - please note this review contains spoilers!

Known for being tone deaf, badly dressed and outrageously cocky, fans of Miranda Sings (aka the Mirfandas) will not be disappointed by this bonkers theatrical experience. "I don't get Miranda Sings" I hear you cry. Miranda Sings is a comedy character created by the very clever Colleen Ballinger. While Miranda is tone deaf, Colleen is actually a classically trained vocalist.

Interview: Miranda Sings

International YouTube sensation Miranda Sings is returning to London next month with her one-woman comedy show 'Miranda Sings Live!' for a limited run at Leicester Square Theatre. 

Miranda Sings is the creation of comedian and singer Colleen Ballinger, and satirises the online phenomenon of bad singers using YouTube as a platform for self promotion, posting cringe-inducing videos with the belief that this will lead to them breaking into show business. Comically talentless, Miranda sings completely off-key, is totally self-absorbed and responds to negative comments on her videos with her catchphrase "Haters back off!". 

With unusually active eyebrows and a crooked smile, Miranda is known for wearing lipstick drawn beyond the borders of her lips, dressing in mismatched clothing and dancing stiffly to the songs she performs. 

Miranda will present her unique brand of comedy in a new show for 2013, which guarantees a hilarious night filled with improvisation, hit songs, onstage voice lessons, magic tricks, and dramatic readings of her own hate mail. 

Miranda chats to West End Frame about receiving negative YouTube comments, who inspired her to start singing and her fashion icons...

Hi Miranda, are you excited about bringing your show to London for a week? 

I am so excited I feel like I might explode with excitedness. I love London so much. My British mirfandas are the best and I can’t wait to meet them all!
