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.
