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 ‘A Brief History of History’ to Christchurch for ONE NIGHT ONLY!

From 2012 to 2014 the internationally renowned UK comic toured the original show to numerous festivals in Australia, New Zealand (where it was nominated for Best International Show) and Edinburgh (nominated for Best Comedy).

This updated version has already astonished, amused and informed 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
