Breath of fresh air in scripted comedy

This scripted comedy series is so funny, its really made a world and series of characters that are so funny in the world of wrestling. The love and understanding of wrestling and its little niches really show in the detail.

Surprisingly its emotions go beyond humour sometimes, Caravan of Hell is legit terrifing and one of the best bits of audio storytelling I have heard all year, I highly recommened giving it a listen.
