Building on its growing cult following, NAW or Never brings comedy and wrestling together in The Smack Talk Open Mic- a high-energy, audience-driven format where participants are invited to create their own wrestling personas and deliver one-minute promos on stage. A rotating panel of special guests offers commentary before selecting a winner, who receives an honorary “contract” with the Nearly Average Wrestling Promotion.<\/p>\n
This May edition of NAW or Never marks the one-year anniversary of the show, a major milestone for the fast-growing comedy-meets-wrestling phenomenon that’s been generating buzz across LA’s alt-comedy scene. Over the past year, NAW or Never has steadily grown its audience through this spectacle of improvisation, character work, and collaborative creativity. As the LA Times described it: “Even if the promo is rough around the edges, Hartline [the show’s creator and host] creates a space that encourages creativity. He wants performers to create a fantastical world that helps grow the universe within NAW, or Nearly Average Wrestling.”<\/p>\n
Every NAW or Never show introduces new characters and unpredictable storylines, ensuring audiences never experience the same event twice. With inclusion in the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, the show joins some of comedy’s most recognized names for a one-night event celebrating originality and community-driven performance.<\/p>\n
