An incredible night of wrestling action from Clash of the Comics, with comedians v pro wrestlers, all for Comic Relief. Ivo Graham as MC did his very best to control the chaos, with Sarah Pascoe, Nish Kumar and Greg James commentating. An open challenge from James Acaster went...as you'd expect.

A lot stage, on which a neon sign reads "Clash of the Comics".

I'm delighted to tell you that a big old box of books is on its way to "PINT Giving" to help them with their new mobile library they're setting up to support homeless people in London.

Thanks so much to everyone who shared/donated to this.

So did I and absolutely me too. Even my university wasn't as culturally mixed as it could've been, but much more so than the small town I grew up in.
