5 Mistakes That Changed History

10th April 2025 By

5 Mistakes That Changed History. A person dressed in period clothing is sat on a white horse. He has a flower in his hat, is holding a cocktail and has a party streamer in his mouth. The horse is wearing sunglasses and the man holds a red balloon.

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, story-telling 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’

Recommended age: 8+
