Authors Live: Athena Kugblenu
Writer and comedian Athena Kugblenu joins us on Authors Live to sort fact from fiction

Join us for an exciting romp through history with Athena Kugblenu as she shares some of the best tales of misfortune from her brilliant non-fiction titles, History's Most Epic Fails and History's Most Epic Fibs. Together we will learn that sometimes from failure comes great learning and discover some characters from history that you've perhaps never come across.
Athena is a comedian and writer who has written for CBBC's Horrible Histories and also presents hit children's comedy podcast Bust or Trust. She will bring the past to life on Authors Live with surprising stories of un-truths, misdeeds and terrible decisions. Whether or not you're a lover of history, you will laugh while you learn!
