The book follows the author's death-defying 200-mile journey in his antique Thomas Crapper bath - not just across the Channel, but around Kent - right up to the tremendous reception and huge media attention which awaited him under Tower Bridge.
Tim FitzHigham is unhinged. He is completely without hinges.
It is a very, very brave man who takes to the wild seas in a copper bath with only a rubber duck for support ... This is a very difficult challenge, so well done for keeping the art of British eccentricity well and truly alive.
I think it's fair to say that though I'm fairly well connected in the boating world, I only know one person who has crossed the Channel in a bath! 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!
Tim FitzHigham only exists because P. G. Wodehouse didn't invent him first.
Tim FitzHigham, I salute you ... Thank you for making this epic and hilarious voyage.
Tim was nominated for a Perrier Best Newcomer award and is a multi-award-winning comedian. His show based on his experiences with 'The Bath' won the Critics' Award and the Editors' Award at Edinburgh in 2005. His tour of 'In The Bath: Unplugged' has appeared at over 100 venues.
