TIM FITZHIGHAM (Eng)


History has known many heroic failiures. Scot of the Antartic, Gordon ofKhartoum, and Clive of India.

In 2004 Tim set off on his latest adventure. To become the first man in history to row the English Channel in a Bath.This mission was televised all over the world and reported in Metro, but here for the firsttime is the full story in his own words.

His time with the Olympic gold medalist rowers Pinsent, Cracknell, Williams, and Partridge, his presents from Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Dave Gorman, Chris and Ingrid Tarrant, and the famous bath launch by Thomas Crapper are all told in this blended mixture ofstand up and stories. Plus the remakable tale of how His Majesty King George V's travel bath with the silver taps, Tim, and various other celebrities narrowly avoided becoming bound up in international fraud is told here frankly and very funnily as Tim talks of his time in the bath.

"There’s a fine line between madness and genius – Tim has well and truly crossed it. I’m still not sure which direction he was going in at the time. Tim FitzHigham, I salute you. And thank you for making this epic, hilarious and mostly terrifying voyage." - Richard Hammond - BBC "Top Gear" presenter and near-death crash victim!

"Tim is one of those special people you meet rarely in life..I respect him very much for being who he is, and not at all afraid of it!" - Dame Ellen MacArthur - British round-the-world sailing heroine

"Tim FitzHigham is unhinged. He is completely without hinges" - Eddie Izzard - International Comedian & Actor

"The fragile spirit of British eccentricity lies in the horned hands of this idiot. God help us! " - Suggs - Madness

THE BOOK OF "IN THE BATH" PUBLISHED BY RANDOM HOUSE WILL BE ON SALE AT LOCAL ENGLISH BOOKSHOPS AND ALSO AT EACH SHOW WHERE TIM WILL BE HAPPY TO SIGN COPIES.

AL PITCHER (NZ)


He’s been called unpredictable and divided audiences with his ad hoc ways, but happily for Pitcher, his celebration of saying precisely whatever pops into his head could earn the recognition he deserves. Never a dull moment, this walking, face-pulling non-sequiter rockets his way around a series of topics with hilarious results. Funnier and more random than a sausage with sideburns.
