Comedian Tim FitzHigham will no doubt turn up for his one-man show The Gambler at Greenwich Theatre in conventional style…but don’t bet on it. Tim successfully rowed the English Channel in a bathtub for a bet and once walked backwards for 30 miles, so the Docklands Light Railway doesn’t exactly present a challenge.
The Gambler – on Wednesday, February 17, 7.30pm - follows on from Greenwich Theatre’s sell-out talking head shows with Germaine Greer and David Starkey. “I think it’s going to be a hilarious evening,” said James Haddrell, Greenwich Theatre’s Artistic and Executive director. “You can see it as a stand-up show but it’s also a chance to hear someone who gets huge pleasure from historical research talking about these crazy historical bets. Tim’s enthusiasm for these eccentric characters from history is infectious.”
*THE Gambler, Wednesday, February 17, 7.30pm. Tickets: £16 (concessions £13.50), including £1 booking fee. Call 020 8858 7755. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk
