Tim Fitzhigham

A show about the 10 greatest bets in history.

Multi award-winning comedian, adventurer and world record holder FitzHigham has lots of bad ideas. 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.

Please note this event is suitable for ages 14+
