This is less of a show and more a gathering of wrestling fans, and Billy Kirkwood and Chris Brooker carry it with wrestling based stand-up and improv games. The atmosphere is spectacular; such a concentration of people passionate about something generates an incredible energy. It’s also a very friendly place to be; the hosts are not afraid to laugh at the joys and occasional awkwardnesses of being a wrestling fan. If you aren’t into the sport you will still be thoroughly entertained, though the show does go on a little too long; and if you like wrestling you will have the absolute time of your life, surrounded by like-minded people and about a million chants and in-jokes you’ll actually pick up on.

Studio 24, 24 Aug, 7.30pm.
