Description
We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of history. In this historical-storytelling comedy, historian and comedian, Paul Coulter, tells the funny (and tragic) stories of five people and how their mistakes changed the world. Fresh from sold-out runs at Sydney and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, Paul 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.

Excellent show, I loved it. Paul gives an a fluent, natural and engaging delivery. He tells stories in a way that really grabs your attention. It's not comedy but it does have some funny moments. His stories from history pack a real punch. Very original and highly recommended!
