Skankfest Festival Arrives In Las Vegas This Fall

After a successful movement of Skankfest out of New York and to the South last year, the comedy festival is further expanding in 2022 by taking the show on the road again.

This week, comedian Luis J. Gomez – who originated the festival – took to Instagram to share a poster for their newest venture, Skankfest Vegas. So anyone out on the West coast who has been wanting to hit up the annual festival but wasn’t able to make it out to New York or Texas, your time has come. Skankfest is taking over sin city from October 14th to the 16th.

Luis J. Gomez is a comedian, writer, podcaster, and producer based out of New York City. He is most known for being one of the hosts of the popular podcast Legion of Skanks. His television appearances include NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”, Comedy Central’s “Roast Battle”, TruTV’s “Comedy Knockout”, two seasons of NBC Seeso’s “What’s Your F@%king Deal?!”, and more.

Luis co-hosted “The Countdown” on Sirius XM’s RUSH channel 93 alongside former UFC middleweight Champion Michael Bisping for 2 years. In 2017 they turned the show into the podcast “Believe You Me” which debuted at #1 in iTunes Sports. He regularly appears on Bennington, Jim Norton and Sam Roberts, The Bonfire and UFC Unfiltered.

Recently, Luis performed at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and was named a “Breakout Performer” by Time Out NY. In 2016, Luis started the GaS Digital Podcast Network with his good friend, and fellow podcaster, Ralph Sutton. He hosts three podcasts on the network (Legion of Skanks, Believe You Me, and Real Ass Podcast). That same year he co-created the comedy festival Skankfest NYC which has now sold out 3 years in a row and has amassed a cult-like following among comedy fans worldwide.

Pre-sale tickets for Skankfest go on sale on January 28th. Additional information can be found here.
