(NO) MONEY IN THE BANK - PRESS RELEASE

Tag Team Comedy Comes to Edinburgh

 Comedy double act Thom Bee & Andrew Marsh will be bringing their debut show “(No) Money in the Bank” to the Edinburgh fringe. As the title suggests, the show is exactly what happens when two, very poor adults, try and take on the world of professional wrestling, which Screen Jabber called “An absolute must for comedy and wrestling fans.”

(No) Money in the Bank is a show that combines character comedy, stand up comedy, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the wrestling world. No rock is left unturned or rock bottomed as Thom and Andrew explore the good, the bad, and the downright weird aspects of sports entertainment, which they both love so dearly.

There is even a special guest appearance from Balthazar Dark, a bitter, volatile wrestler who has somehow found himself on this show. (No) Money in the Bank promises a truly surreal use of “tag team comedy” and aims to sports entertain fans of wrestling. as it has been created and performed by two mega-fans. That said, there has been a deliberate effort to make the show just as enjoyable for those who haven’t seen a match since they were kids, or possibly not at all. (No) Money in the Bank is a love letter to the world of sports entertainment, but if you hate wrestling, you can still come and laugh at the things that Thom and Andrew find ridiculous about it.

Thom and Andrew have been previewing the show all over the country, including a four day run at Brighton Fringe, to positive feedback and happy audiences. They promise to deliver this same delight for their entire run in Edinburgh, with this new, experimental and hilarious show.

Before the Fringe, there are also 2 more previews you can catch! They’ll be performing at The Great Yorkshire Fringe with support from wrestler Dave Graves on July 24th in York, tickets available at http://bit.ly/NMitBYork. They will also be performing the full show on July 26th in Stockton for the low price of £3. More information at https://www.facebook.com/events/535199980171376/

Tickets are available now! So don’t hesitate before they sell out: bit.ly/NMitBEd

RWF SPOTLIGHT: HIT THE BREAKS

Photo via Rob Brazier/Head Drop Every now and again there comes an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something. It might be a band you like who go from supporting other artists in dingy clubs and go on to sell out arenas, or it might be a stand-up comedian who goes from performing in local pubs to being on TV every week. Well I'm telling you right now, get all in on Jordon Breaks, so that one day you can say that you saw him live at Riptide. Although relatively young, both in age and within the business, Jordon has already drawn rave reviews for his technical prowess from fans and most importantly, fellow wrestlers. One (incredibly gifted) writer even made an ambitious, yet not unrealistic, comparison to a young Zak Sabre Jr. He's from Brighton too, so not only is he talented - he's also local lad!   No doubt Jordan has the ability, the grounding, and the mindset to go far - and I have a feeling the character and ring-presence will only continue to grow as...

RWF SPOTLIGHT: THE KING OF STRONG & STABLE STYLE

Image
Legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock once said "The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture" and in the realms of wrestling I can't think of a better example of this than Spike Trivet in Riptide. From the early days of the promotion Spike quickly became the most hated man in the building, mixing his questionable political beliefs with his penchant for hiring mercenaries to do his dirty work. His obsession with crushing all in his path, in particular Jack Sexsmith, has become one of the central narratives told across the Riptide catalogue so far. Of course our goal here at RWF is to find out a little bit more about the person behind the persona, and with the Brighton Championship Tournament fast approaching - where Spike will be gunning for that title - what better time to catch up with most people's third favourite member of Money vs Everybody! RWF: As one of the fastest-rising heels on the British Wrestling scene many people will be f...
