Skankfest Is The Best Comedy Festival In The World
If you ask your favorite comedian what they’re favorite event to be a part of is, they’re almost guaranteed to say Skankfest. Skankfest describes themselves as
“the world's craziest comedy party”, and we agree that without doubt Skankfest is the best comedy festival in the world. The festival is set to take place for the first time in Las
Vegas, and Sin City is sure to lend a hand in making this one of the most fun events you could attend all year. Skankfest is set to take place from October 14th-16th at Notoriety Live, which
is a state of the art multi-stage venue located on the world famous Fremont Street in Downtown Vegas.
For those of you who don’t know, Skankfest has been held annually for more than five years in various locations including New York City and Houston. The festival was originally started
by comedians Luis J. Gomez, Big Jay Oakerson, and Dave Smith, who are the hosts of the legendary comedy podcast Legion of Skanks. The
festival has evolved every year, and this is going to be the biggest one yet.
The festival features 90+ comedians, tons of live podcasts hosted by the featured talent with other talent joining as guests, along with other fun events like Ellismania hosted by Jason
Ellis. Their lineup also keeps getting bigger, with recent announcements of Bert Kreischer, Duncan Trussell, and Dr. Drew Pinsky being
added.
The festival is unfortunately sold out. Skankfest is a hybrid occasion though, so those interested will be able to virtually watch aspects of the festival live online. Keep an eye out for when you can purchase virtual tickets by following Skankfest and the Legion of Skanks. Those interested in applying to become a volunteer can also do so by clicking here.
They are also currently giving out Golden Tickets permitting special entry to the festival. The Golden Tickets are earned through contests the Legion of Skanks are putting on right now. You can watch their most recent episode below where they named the first Golden Ticket winner based on who submitted the best Legion of Skanks tattoo.
