Ridiculously Boring Bedtime Story... The Boring Life of a Shoemaker in Tudor London

Fall asleep as we explore the funny (and rather boring) life of a shoemaker in Tudor London. In tonight's story, we'll meet Thomas, a London shoemaker in the year 1595, through a perfectly ordinary day in Tudor London. Thomas has never received a text message, email, or notification — but his wife Joan manages to deliver all three in person, usually before he's out of bed. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :) This channel is created and narrated by a real human, not AI. #sleep #history #comedy #boring #funny #london #tudor 00:00:00 Welcome 00:01:00 Wind down 00:02:00 Story begins 00:02:42 Part 1 -   Thomas wakes up in Tudor London and regrets it 00:34:49 Part 2 -   Joan goes shopping 00:54:44 Part 3 -    Tudor customers are annoying 01:04:29 Part 4 -     Thomas visits London Bridge 01:19:55 Part 5 -     The Queen has a rather unusual zoo 01:38:20 Part 6 -   The family discovers Shakespeare 01:52:17 Part 7 -    Thomas goes to bed 😴 Welcome to Humorously Dull History for Sleep 😴 where the most wonderfully boring moments from history become the perfect bedtime stories.
