Brendon Burns and Colt Cabana Sit in a Fifty-Seater Around Midnight and Provide the Commentary to Bad Wrestling Matches @ Stand 2
Yep. That’s pretty much it. Not one to mislead an audience, Brendan Burns and Colt Cabana want you to know what to expect from the very start - a late night sit-about for all and sundry to come and have a right good laugh at that most highbrow and gentlemanly of all sports – professional wrestling.
It’s a cracker. I’m no wrestling fan (although I know my Ultimate Warrior from my Undertaker) but this good-natured gathering of folk ranging from full-on WWE geeks to some misplaced Brendan Burns fans who may have come to the wrong show can’t help but be entertained by an hour full of both rapid-fire improv and self-deprecating banter.
Colt Cobana in particular is a revelation – an ex-WWE wrestler who delights in the more ridiculous elements of his profession while happily reciting juicy insider stories and sharing his favourite embarassing clips from his laptop, he’s quick with a one-liner and together he and Burns make a great (tag) team. Burns is of course in his element here – a piece on his love of 80’s Canadian wrestler Iron Mike Sharpe is the highlight of the night – and his enthusiasm for the ridiculous footage presented here becomes downright infectious by the end of the night.
Prizes, special guests, even the chance to bring your own favourite clips – this is one of the funniest late night shows around. I can't wait to go back.
