About this listen

 Max Voltage was the very first wrestler through the curtain on a War on the Shore in Morecambe, 20 years ago. Then a fresh-faced 17-year-old FWA Academy trainee, Max has gone on to have a stellar career as an actor, writer and comedian. The real-life Max Olesker is one half of double act Max and Ivan, the duo behind 'The Wrestling' at the Edinburgh Fringe and whose wrestling-based 'Clash of the Comics' show is taking the comedy world by storm. Max also co-wrote the ITV British wrestling sitcom 'Deep Heat' and has performed all over the world to great acclaim. But even after all that success, he still has a soft spot for his one and only appearance in Morecambe Wrestling!
