Eric Tinker's Tragical History Tour
Comedian Eric Tinker takes you on a jocular journey of some of the tragic events that have shaped our modern world. From the Neanderthals to the present day, Eric appraises key events in history and ponders such questions as: what really happened in 1066? What if Britain had lost the Napoleonic Wars? (Australians would be speaking French). What if Hitler had been a successful artist? (No WW2). Come along to the show for a laughable historical education!
“Eric Tinker is blessed with a keen sense of the ridiculous.” The Clothesline.
"Eric's show is really bloody weird and so much fun." Kate Rudge, Bris Funny Fest Director.
"Tinker’s humour is more unusual than most - a unique brew of nerdy observation and looney lateral thinking." The Barefoot Review.
