The Wrestling II

If there’s one event the entire comedy industry will be flocking to this Fringe, it’s the second coming of The Wrestling. Professional comedians v professional wrestlers. Simple as that. One ring, a few splatters of blood and way too much spandex. The debut Wrestling show in 2011 walked away with the Panel Prize at the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Co-creator Max Olesker (of sketch duo Max & Ivan, and once Britain’s youngest pro-wrestler) limped, rather than walked, away with a broken ankle. It was one of craziest shows the festival’s seen in years. And now they’re doing it all again. Ding ding, seconds out!

If you’re heading to the Edinburgh Fringe, say goodbye to your usual bedtime. Seriously, forget about being snuggled up under your duvet by 11.30 – you’ll be classified as a ‘wimp’ and commanded to get the first train from Waverley back to London. Throughout the month, shows take place right through to the wee small hours, and after that, it’s time for a late-license drink (obviously).

At the late-night shows you’ll often find the most bizarre happenings, but weirdo ‘Fringe-only’ experiences don’t just happen post-midnight, they take place at any time of day or night. So, here are our top tips for late-night shows and odd nights out.
