About THE SHOW

Welcome to the funniest ride in wrestling

Combining Damo's love of wrestling with Ant's love of performing was an obvious choice. Even though the pair live at opposite ends of the UK, they worked through lockdowns to bring this fireball of comedy chaos to life. The show launched in 2020, and soon developed a loyal following in over 70 territories, including the UK, US, Europe, and Iran.

In 2023, the creators started Podomedy the podcast comedy network, to collaborate and develop new and existing shows. To-date, Wrestling With the Champ has received nominations for multiple podcast awards, and won gold for Best Sports Podcast at the Independent Podcast Awards 2024.

Fun at the Fringe

Post-Covid, the Ginger Ninja and Damo started performing live as their alter-egos for the very first time.

Gravy Wrestling

Not all ideas are great ones. This, however, was one of the best. During the long, hot summer of 2023, The Champ decided to test his abilities in a different kind of ring... One filled with cold, sticky, gravy. And while he wasn't crowned the champion, he did make a good fist of things.


Damo sadly couldn't make it, but at least you have video evidence to prove that it actually took place. Something to tell the grandkids, I suppose.
