Throughout the 1800s Scottish solider Gregor MacGregor fought in wars across South America before returning home and claiming to be a prince of a country that he'd created called Poyais.

This week's episode of Do Go On was recorded live on a beach at the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival. We each did a mini report on a "dumb death" - that is dumbs ways in which people have died. The topics were Bobby Leach, the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, the horse loving "Mr. Hands" and badass lawyer Clement Vallandigham. One of the three stories is a bit full on, but very very funny.

We were also joined on stage by two of our funniest friends Nick Capper from The Phone Hacks podcast and the best in showbiz, Oliver Clark.
