CLAW to headline The Highdive on November 20th

Part of the reason I love living in Champaign-Urbana is simply because of the unique nature of the community. Those who want to organize unique activities are continually supported, and in turn, we have a vibrant performing arts scene that rivals some major cities.

One of these unique activities is C.L.A.W., or Champaign Ladies Amateur Wrestling. Complete with suited emcees and a backing band (Bookmobile!), CLAW is every bit as in-depth as you would hope a wrestling show would be, and it comes together to make one entertaining night of fun. In September, the group performed a set outdoors at Mike N Molly’s for The Pygmalion Festival to a packed house, and if that atmosphere was any indication, their upcoming headliner at The Highdive should be a crazy time.

Los Despeinados and Jorts will also provide musical support for the evening, and tickets are available now for $12 and $15 at the door on November 20th — but trust me, you don’t want to wait until then. This will be a packed house.
