5 Mistakes That Changed History
A live show on Stage 1 at Northern Stage.
About This Event
Comedian and historian Paul Coulter brings his smash-hit storytelling show to Northern Stage, unpicking five people whose mistakes, some tiny and some catastrophic, ended up changing the course of history. Spanning everyone from Alexander the Great to the Titanic, it is a fast, funny and surprisingly moving tour through the moments where things went memorably wrong. A sell-out on the festival circuit at both the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringes, and now spun off into a best-selling Penguin book, the show blends stand-up energy with genuine historical insight. Doors are shortly before the 7.30pm start, with tickets from £12.
