2011 Edinburgh Fringe
The Wrestling
World-class wrestlers meet world-class comedians in a late night, heart-pounding, edge-of-your seat spectacular. For one night only the Edinburgh Festival Fringe will be turned upside-down, as punch-lines 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, bring a complete lack of emotional self-control and join a galaxy of fearsome fighters and dazzling comedy favourites at the Pleasance Grand. An unmissable night of once-in-a-lifetime Fringe madness.

I think this is one of the best things I've ever seen. I'm not exactly into wrestling, so didn't know what to expect, but it was hilarious, exciting, and I was literally on the edge of my seat, screaming my head off. I loved every minute, and they need to bring this back next year!!!
