5 Mistakes that Changed History

We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of history. 5 Mistakes That Changed History is a hilarious historical storytelling show performed by historian and comedian, Paul Coulter, about five people and how their mistakes (big and small!) changed the world.

Blending history, storytelling and comedy, the show has been a smash-hit, sell-out success on the comedy festival circuit, selling out both Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Adelaide Fringe Festival twice in 2023 and 2024.

Suitable for history lovers 9 to 90+, the show was named by British Comedy Guide as one of the ‘Best Reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows 2024’ and was chosen as one of the ‘Picks of the Fringe’.
