TIM FITZHIGHAM
MULTIPLE WORLD RECORD HOLDER AND ACTUAL COMMODORE OF THE BRITISH NAVY
Tim FitzHigham is a Perrier nominated, multi-award winning comedian, explorer, presenter, world-record holder and author. Among numerous TV credits as a comic, he has presented several documentaries for BBC 1, and Super Human Challenge for CBBC. Tim has written and performed in two series of The Gambler, for BBC Radio 4 based on his hugely-successful 2011 Edinburgh Fringe show, whilst keeping up his many stage and film appearances.
He is completely and utterly unique as a storyteller, adventurer and absolutely mad-as-a-hatstand, loonbag pioneer into hitherto unknown territories of human endeavour! His achievements include breaking a 383 year old record by sailing a paper boat 160 miles down the River Thames, crossing the Channel in a bathtub and Morris dancing from London to Norwich.
“You can’t help but be swept up in the delights of his adventure.” ***** Chortle
