London’s inaugural Just For Laughs Festival closed with a bang last night. Or rather a thump. In fact make that a lot of thumps, as comedians swapped punchlines for punches and took on professional fighters in aid of Comic Relief.
The concept of The Wrestling has previously been a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, winning an Edinburgh Comedy Award Panel Prize in 2011, but this was its long overdue London debut. The comedians appearing included Aisling Bea, Iain Stirling and Nish Kumar as commentators and Suzi Ruffell as MC, but the real stars were the men and women in leotards.
