About this event

This is a show about how the ancient world isn't all that ancient. The same cabal that controlled society then controls it now.

If you liked The Da Vinci Code you'll love this show. It's my proudest accomplishment to date other than the smash hit success video "Top Ten Cutest Dogs".

Praise for A Tale As Old As Rome

“Shanks, a perfectionist, leaves no stone unturned as he weaves, dodges and dips through his argument equating Ancient Rome to the modern political landscape”…The Advertiser, 4/5 Stars

“It was similar to Horrible Histories if it were loaded with Australian slang, references to Von Dutch hats, and a heart-warming tribute to perhaps the most misunderstood man in Roman history”…The University of Adelaide, 4/5 Stars

“Jordies keeps it balanced with a healthy dose of his signature dumbass voices, deliciously politically incorrect burns (this time directed towards today’s historians) and a dodgy photoshop-filled PowerPoint presentation”…College Adelaide, 4/5 Stars

Presented by: Jordan Shanks
