About this event:

Created by Tech Team
The Greenwich Theatre

Multi award-winning comedian, adventurer and world record holder Fitzhigham has lots of bad ideas (he rowed the English Channel in a bathtub).

Now, inspired by centuries-old bets, recorded in the betting books of revered gentlemen’s clubs, Tim attempts:

  • Pushing a wheelbarrow 25 miles, in a bet with Top Gear’s Richard Hammond (as first attempted by Goliath Shadbolt in 1789)
  • Standing on one leg for 12 hours (a bet from the year 1815)
  • Cycling from London to Dover before his friend can draw a million dots
  • Racing a racehorse over 100 yards (yes, he races a racehorse)
  • Walking backwards for 30 miles and other death-defying feats…

    •  

    The Gambler SOLD OUT at the Edinburgh Festival in 2011, Melbourne International Festival (Australia) in 2012, Adelaide Festival (Australia) in 2013 and the New Zealand International Comedy Festival in 2014.
