5 Mistakes That Changed History

We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of history. After sell-out seasons in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the smash-hit historical storytelling show by comedian and historian Paul Coulter returns with a new show about five people and how their mistakes (big and small!) changed the world. Penguin Random House published the best-selling book 10 Mistakes That Changed History based on the show in 2025. If you love history, don't let your mistake be missing out on this show! One of British Comedy Guide's best-reviewed shows. ***** (TheatreWeekly.com). ***** (BroadwayWorld.com). ***** (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk).
