Ed Gamble shows of his lift technique in a photocall for The Wrestling

Ed 'The Gambler' Gamble lifts fellow comic Max Olesker high above The O2 in this photocall to promote the next instalment of The Wrestling.

Next to him, Max's double-act partner  Ivan Gonzalez  is being manhandled by pro wrestler Levi Muir, as Olga Koch – who will be commenting on the event – looks on.

A bruised Max – who once wrestled under the name Max Voltage – said: 'The gamble may have paid off this time Ed, but on March 5 at Just For Laughs London we'll be the ones slamming YOU, in the Wrestling ring.’ 

 Ivan added: ‘It’s actually a slightly more forgiving surface. But it’s louder. Oh boy, is it louder.’

The event, pitching comics against pro wrestlers, takes place on the final night of the four-day Just For Laughs London festival across the landmark O2 site.  More info at www.jfllondon.co.uk.
