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.

After a fantastic show in Buxton in 2025, the show returns in 2026. Blending history, storytelling, and comedy, the show has been a smash-hit, sell-out success on the comedy festival circuit, selling out both Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival three years in a row!

This production of 5 Mistakes That Changed History is returning with the same historical stories and mistakes as 2025 for those who missed out last year!

If you love history, don't let your mistake be missing out on this show!
