Nic Sampson: Marathon, 1904 (WIP)

  • Pleasance Islington North Road London, England, N7 9EF United Kingdom (map)

32 athletes entered the 1904 Olympic marathon in St. Louis, Missouri... only 14 finished. What happened in between was a perfect storm of stupidity, cheating, raw eggs, wild dogs and rat poison.

Award-winning New Zealand comedian Nic Sampson brings to life the incredible true story of one of the dumbest sporting events of all time.

Co-writer of Starstruck (BBC3) and star of The Brokenwood Mysteries (UKTV).

“A world-class hour from one of the country's best performers. It's essential” (Stuff).

“A beautiful gem of comedic goodness” (Three).

Winner: NZ International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer.
