1026 reviewsDavid Harper is a well known BBC TV antiques presenter. He’s been presenting on shows like Bargain Hunt, Flog It and Antiques Road Trip for 20 years. He’s also an artist, a public/after dinner speaker/auctioneer and a writer. His recently published book ‘A Romp With The Georgians’ is a humorous, light hearted look at life in Britain during the Georgian period 1714 – 1830.
The book is packed with funny, outrageous and dastardly historical stories our history teachers didn’t tell us and it’s now been turned into 1.5 hour stand up comedy, family friendly history show (40 minutes x 2). Stories range from strange Georgian pets, binge drinking, Georgian cosmetic surgery, electrified beds, smugglers, money launderers, fashion disasters, dodgy politicians and how to sell your spouse in auction amongst many other very unusual, but true tales.
Lots of audience participation in the form of questions. No two shows are the same, as it’s unscripted and reactive (depending on the questions).
Book sales, book signings and meet and greet on the evening.
Family friendly. Suitable for ages 12+.
