The history books are full of heroes and villains … but what about all the idiots? Comedian and armchair historian Mikey Robins tells the astonishing story of human stupidity, one idiot at a time. History tends to omit tales of human fallibility. We overlook the dubious and ridiculous contributions made by history’s tawdry parade of knuckleheads. Idiots, Follies and Misadventures is a call to arms ... knuckleheads assemble and prepare to be mocked. Just because history has mostly swept these idiots under the carpet does not make them by any means unsung heroes.

Mikey Robins is one of Australia’s most well-known comedians and broadcasters. He spent seven years hosting Triple J’s National Breakfast Show before appearing as team leader on the smash hit TV series Good News Week. He has written for The Daily Telegraph, GQ and Men’s Style, and co-authored the books Three Beers and a Chinese Meal (with Helen Razor) and Big Man’s World (with Tony Squires and The Sandman).
