Log inWe 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 three years in a row in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The show was named by British Comedy Guide as one of the ‘Best Reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows’ and was chosen as one of the ‘Picks of the Fringe’.
Paul is the author of the bestselling book 10 Mistakes That Changed History which was published by Penguin Random House in 2025. Paul has appeared on air talking about History’s greatest mistakes on BBC World News, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5, BBC Radio London and Times Radio.
If you love history, don’t let your mistake be missing out on this show!
