SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS

A final word on The Wrestling…

The Wrestling - it was ridiculous. You should have been there.

Well. That was, clearly, one of the single most extraordinary events we’ve ever been a part of. To absolutely all of the performers – comedians and wrestlers alike – as well as the astonishing tech crew who put the entire event together, you have our undying love and thanks. It’s taken a few days for the dust to settle on this one, and it currently seems deeply surreal that any of it happened at all. [...]

Holmes and Watson awarded ‘Best Comedy’ at Buxton Fringe

A++++, would surf again). Then we came back to angry, smog-filled London and thought nothing more about it.

HOWEVER – the festival has just finished, and it turns out we’ve won their ‘Best Comedy’ award! Magnificent stuff; thank you people of Buxton! It’s a beautifully auspicious boost en route to Edinburgh (which is literally a week away. Good god) – and the best bit is we still haven’t quite finished editing the show. Let’s do this.

Comedians. Wrestlers. Blood.

The Wrestling

On Monday 15th August at the Pleasance Grand, THE WRESTLING is officially going to happen. Tickets have just gone on sale. We are too excited.

World-class wrestlers meet world-class comedians in a late night, heart-pounding, edge-of-your seat spectacular. For one night only the Edinburgh Fringe will be turned upside-down, as punchlines meet clotheslines in an epic and extraordinary battle of Good versus Evil. Rules will be broken. Blood may be spilt. Explosions will definitely happen. Bring signs, bring costumes [...]
