In 1599 Shakespeare's greatest clown Will Kemp had a blazing row with The Bard.

Kemp stormed off on a quest to discover the true nature of comedy by Morris Dancing to Norwich in 9 days.

In 1600 he wrote a poem about it - in 2008 Tim read it. Come and hear live what happened next...

The Bard's Fool - Tim's new show, will debut at Edinburgh. Details and how to book tickets are here.

Tim's past Edinburgh shows have sold out, been critics choice in the Times, Sunday Times, Telegraph, Evening Standard, Scotsman, Time Out, Observer, Independent, and Metro. He has burnt duck on Ready Steady Cook, played in the mud on Channel 4's Time Team and recently attempted to ruin a film with Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Tim's first book is out. It's the true story of his epic trip 200 miles in a third of a tonne roll top Victorian copper bath.

The book is available now in all good bookshops. Or, why not buy it online!

 

 

About Tim and the Book

"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

"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 MacAthur

"Tim FitzHigham is unhinged. He is completely without hinges" - Eddie Izzard

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

To commemorate Tim's successful crossing of the English Channel in a bath, Thomas Crapper and Co are pleased to announce the availability of The FitzHigham - a fine toilet worthy of the name.

For every toilet sold Thomas Crapper and Co will make a donation to Comic Relief - genuine comic relief and toilet humour nirvana in one stunning bit of porcelain.
