353 - Colt Cabana

Our first wrestler! A man with a firm foot in both the ring and the comedy circuit; Colt Cabana has been a pro for over 20 years, in WWE and now AEW, as well as a committed comedy collaborator with people like Brendon Burns and John Hastings.  We talk about the myriad parallels between our worlds; about mentorship and growth; whether “kayfabe” is still a thing; learning how to play character instinctively; and meeting his comic match in Japanese wrestler Toru Yano.15 minutes of extra content available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club include Colt discussing evolution over a long career, crowd work with a baby, seeking inspiration in everything, and the “fakeness” or otherwise of UFC…Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much, much more!Catch up with Colt:Find Colt on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ColtCabanaTw/IG: @ColtCabanaThe documentaries & children’s book is at COLTMERCH.comand find ”Art of Wrestling” podcast wherever the hell you get your podcasts!Everything Stu's up to:The Infinite Sofa chat show is now available as a solution to remote-working office parties over the festive period!
