Tim FitzHigham: The Gambler

Overview

Tim FitzHigham brings his hugely popular act The Gambler to this year's Festival. The man is a Brit obsessed by any kind of challenge. At great expense to himself, the man decided to recreate the 10 strangest bets in history. The Gambler is a show about the pursuit of such a goal.

In the process of performing The Gambler FitzHigham has partially severed his finger, broke a rib, fractured a toe and put his house up for sale.

He has earned praise from a number of contemporaries including Eddie Izzard who describes him as "...unhinged. He is completely without hinges.”
