Last night I squeezed in to The Classic Studio for a sold out performance of Gordon Southern’s  show A Brief History Of History.

Dressed in jeans with a shirt and tie just like a cool teacher,  the next hour was filled with hilarious historical content crammed in around Gordon’s excellent audience participation and gold star system.

It all happens so fast! The centuries fly by as this skilled comedian fuses what is essentially a brilliant stand up show come history lesson.

Early on in his show he makes sure he has the spectrum of ages represented so he can refer to them throughout and communicate both to the youth and the older punter, sometimes making them the butt of a joke but it’s all in good  humour and full of fun.
