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. Class credit not provided.

Who doesn't like a bit of humor with their history? My entire family -- three people of different ages with varied tastes -- quite enjoyed this show. We would definitely book another show by Paul Coulter, should he be presenting at next year's Fringe. Well done!
