London, January 15th, 2018: Named by the Guinness Book of Records as ‘the world’s greatest living explorer’, Sir Ranulph Fiennes has spent his life in pursuit of extreme adventure, risking life and limb in some of the most ambitious private expeditions ever undertaken. Now he will take to the road in an exciting new show exploring his life and career.

Amongst his many record-breaking achievements, he was the first to reach both Poles, the first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and the first to circumnavigate the world along its polar axis.

In his new show, ‘Living Dangerously’, Sir Ranulph offers a personal journey through his life and his incredible career. Both light-hearted and strikingly poignant, ‘Living Dangerously’ spans Sir Ranulph’s childhood and school misdemeanours, his army life and early expeditions, right through the Transglobe Expedition to his current Global Reach Challenge – his goal to become the first person in the world to cross both polar ice caps and climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ many endeavours have pushed his endurance levels to the very limits, inspiring generations and making him a pioneer of exploration with an unparalleled story to tell. Now you can hear his amazing stories live and uncensored.  For all tickets please visit: http://www.faneproductions.com/event/sir-ranulph-fiennes-living-dangerously/
