Chris Brooker Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 A quick heads up for folk around these parts. Â Â In October Colt will be taking his Edinburgh Festival show on the road for a few dates around the country. Admittedly we'll be flying without Brendon Burns but myself and Billy Kirkwood will be on hand. We did one of the nights with him at The Stand in August and it was a blast. Going to be hitting London on 21st October, Manchester on 22nd and Leeds on the 23rd. Â It's essentially the international version of $5 Wrestling, think Mystery Science Theatre 3000 meets Botchamania. Â Good, solid geeky wrestling fun and we may have a few extra surprises and/or guests along the way. Â Tickets on sale right here right now.

The Dart Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 So $5 Wrestling where tickets are the equivilent of $18. Seems like a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pier Six Brawler Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I have never found Colt funny but sometimes enjoy his podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2013 Great input... Â Anyway, what's the deal with this? Bring in your own DVDs or is it all beforehand or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brooker Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 A good question. This has all come about on somewhat short notice so I'm picking up details as we go. I'll ask the man himself and see what he says. When Billy and I did the show in The 'Burgh it was all stuff he had on his laptop but we have a bit more time to play with on the tour so I can't see why he wouldn't be open to having some BYO action.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 Colt's got to be angling for some sort of commentating job with this. "On the Fly" commentating would always go down well with his potential employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I don't really understand what this is? You just sit down and watch at TV while other people tell you that what you're watching is crap? Or is it more like a Rocky Horror interactive kind of deal but with Colt Cabana joining in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I see it as a like a live version of Mystery Science Theatre with wrestling. Is it like that Brooker man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brooker Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yes, that's the nail hit on the head. Very much like Mystery Science Theatre 3000 in that it's live improvised commentary over clips of various matches. Plenty of interaction with the audience and jokes along the way. Billy Kirkwood and I will also be doing some of I Am The Tag Team Champions as warm up so it'll be a good night. Â This was The Skinny's review of the night in Edinburgh.

mdh85 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I saw the Brendon Burns-inclusive version of the show in Edinburgh and it was a very fun way to spend an hour stupidly late at night in a sweaty little room full of drunk wrestling fans. I dunno that I'd be fussed with it outside the context of the Fringe and without Burnsy though, unless there was a gig really local to me. But then I'm a massive Brendon Burns mark. Good luck with it anyway guys, hope its a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brooker Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thanks mdh85, it's looking good so far. Â Ticket update... Manchester is close to sold out, Leeds & London have sold half their tickets. If you're considering this but find yourself on the fence then you'd best jump on this ASAP.

Chris Brooker Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 A heads up for anyone that's bought tickets for the London show on October 21st. The show is moving from The Garage in Islington to The Comedy Cafe in Shoreditch. Anyone that's bought tickets already just needs to show up to the new venue. Details right here.
