UPDATE : Gordon Southern review by STuff.co.nz in Wellington ... "If you're easily offended by jokes about religion, this might not be your pick of the night, but if you're a fan of fun facts and find the odd type font joke hilarious, Southern is your man. This lesson is a hell of a ride and never has learning about history been so much fun."  

Following the sell out success of "Free Range" in 2011 Southern's "poetic, clever and joyfully freewheeling" (Chortle) mind will meander through history. With a mixture of storytelling, tiny bursts of music and lightning quick audience interaction, all of history will be explored in hardly any detail.
