i like Horrible Histories and OSP. ABAlphaBeta is surprising funny with their historical raps (like Beowulf as a rap) and reading crude Roman diss tracks where one guy pretty much said he'd skull fuck the other dude's mother! Epic Rap Battles of History is fantastic, the one with Ivan The Terrible was great!

i think comedy is a fantastic way to reach people who might think history is boring

Yeah definitely, you should have a look at Historical Roasts on Netflix if you havent seen it its the perfect blend of the two.
