We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of history. Fresh from sold out runs at Edinburgh, Sydney and Adelaide Fringe Festivals in 2023/24, the smash hit historical storytelling show returns with new stories about five people and how their mistakes changed the world.  

Historian and comedian Paul Coulter brings history to life in a hilarious way. If you hated history at school, this is the show for you. If you loved history at school, stop looking and just book the show. Class credit not provided.
