About the show
Chokeslam is a solo show by Tegan Verheul, presented at Daisy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Part confessional and part oral history, it explores one woman's love of pro wrestling — grappling with heartbreak, friendship and the healing power of bloodsport. Verheul leaves no Stone (Cold) unturned in her unflinchingly raw autobiographical debut. The show is described as riotously funny, unexpectedly touching and brilliantly human. It runs 60 minutes, is for ages 14 and over, contains strong language, and tickets start from £8.
Why see this show?
A wrestling-fan's autobiography that turns out to be about heartbreak, friendship and healing. Tegan Verheul's debut solo show earns its emotional reach by rooting it entirely in a specific, genuine obsession — and the 60-minute runtime keeps it tight.
