Gordon Southern: A Brief History of History
All history. One Hour. With jokes. And no omissions.
Former nerd Gordon Southern is delighted to report he’s had a relapse, and is bringing his acclaimed show back, in a version suitable for ages 12 and up.
From 2012 to 2014 the orignal 5-star show toured extensively, receiving Best Comedy award nominations in Edinburgh and NZ.
This updated version astonished and amused a packed crowd in a site-specific special at The Museum of South Australia in 2023 and since then Southern has been deep diving into the past to cram even more jokes and facts into this much loved comedy.
“An edu-tainment marvel that has sold out around the world …a breezy, bright and exuberant show that zips along, utterly engaging the audience and educating them in a wonderful and manic hour of comedy.” – ThePunch.com.au
