Paul Coulter is to take his show 5 Mistakes That Changed History to Edinburgh and on tour.
Kicking off in Hever Castle on June 1st the tour will take in a further 52 dates including an epic return to Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. Alongside this, the tour will also see the release of Paul’s debut book 10 Mistakes That Changed History hit the shelves this June. Tickets are on sale for the tour and available now from www.historymistakes.com.
Fresh from sold-out runs at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, this highly anticipated tour will bring the hilarity and intrigue of history’s biggest blunders to theatres nationwide. Blending sharp comedy with fascinating storytelling, 5 Mistakes That Changed History explores the pivotal moments where human error altered the course of the world. Whether it’s a misplaced letter, a disastrous miscalculation, or an ill-advised love affair, Coulter delves into the missteps of the past with wit, charm, and a historian’s eye for detail.
Paul said: “I am thrilled to take 5 Mistakes That Changed History on its first nationwide tour! It's been huge fun to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe and I can't wait to share it with history lovers and comedy fans around the UK. We all make mistakes but writing this show was certainly not one of them!”
