He has numerous television credits, including documentaries for BBC1 and the CBBC series Super Human Challenge, which showcased extraordinary individuals. Tim created and starred in two series of The Gambler for BBC Radio 4, based on his successful 2011 Edinburgh Fringe show about the ten greatest bets in history. He has toured the UK with this live show and appeared in Channel 4's satire, The Windsors. Currently, he hosts the monthly BBC Radio Norfolk New Comedy Show.
Tim has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and made appearances in films such as Wolfman, Booked Out, and Hereafter, all directed by Clint Eastwood. He has spoken at numerous business and charity events, including the World Economic Forum in Geneva and various receptions at the UK House of Lords. He has hosted conferences and festivals in the UK and abroad, including the Earl's Court Boat Show and Camp Bestival.
Tim is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society of Arts, and he has been knighted by a foreign monarchy. He is known for his unconventional ideas, such as rowing the English Channel in a bath and attempting various absurd challenges, including running across deserts in suits of armour and balancing on chairs at the Grand Canyon. His unique experiences provide entertaining and inspiring tales.
In his after-dinner speeches, Tim shares insights from his remarkable journey, focusing on overcoming challenges. He discusses setbacks, such as when the French Government banned bathtubs in territorial waters, and highlights the importance of resilience. His message is clear: never fear failure, as it can lead to great ideas and successes. Tim's first attempt to cross the Channel in a bath ended in a storm, but he persevered and succeeded on his second try. His speeches are not only motivational but also among the funniest in the country.
Tim has also developed a motivational speech for businesses, emphasising goal achievement and the power of storytelling. He combines research with his experiences in various fields, ensuring that his audience leaves with valuable insights for effective presentations.
Additionally, Tim offers storytelling workshops that complement his motivational speeches. These workshops have benefited professionals from City firms to the World Economic Forum, helping them enhance their presentation skills and become more effective in their roles.
