Las Vegas – Lucha VaVOOM kicks off Mexican Independence Day weekend at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas on Friday, September 13 at 8 p.m. Historically a major fight weekend in the city, Brooklyn Bowl will play host to the only fight in town, as Lucha VaVOOM kickstarts the celebrations with one of the most electrifying shows on earth featuring professional Mexican wrestling, plus world-class burlesque, comedy, live music, and more.
For one-night only, Los Angeles’ longest running, most celebrated action-packed variety show will treat their Las Vegas fans to a huge helping of good vs. evil, lucha libre-style wrestling straight from Mexico City, Tijuana, Guadalajara, and Juarez (think WWE with more action!). In between matches, the finest handpicked burlesque acts will wow the crowds with high-octane performances and their unique striptease skills, including raucous aerial acts.
Comedian, actor and TV host Drew Carey (The Drew Carey Show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Price Is Right) is confirmed as the special guest MC and will co-host with comedian Jeff Davis, to deliver insanely off-the-cuff commentary throughout the night. Closing the night will be a live performance from musical guest The Delta Bombers, a local quintet that delivers a hybrid of 50’s rock and roll fused with swampy blues, country, and rockabilly.
The full line-up for Lucha VaVOOM’s Las Vegas show includes wrestling matches between some of the most talented luchadors on the planet (Dr. Maldad, Rey Horus, Mariachi Loco, Li’l Cholo, Puma King, Dama Fina, and more) and performances from the incomparable and stunning Trixie Little (former Queen of Burlesque and Miss Exotic World 2015), Kalani Kokonuts (Miss Exotic World 2009), Natasha Estrada (former “Miss Viva Las Vegas” from Michelle L’amour’s Pretty Funny comedy and burlesque striptease production), Moana Santana, and Karis Wilde.
Tickets are available now at the Brooklyn Bowl box office, by calling 877.987.6487, or online here. Tickets start at $40 with VIP and bowling packages available starting at $50. Guests must be 18+ with proof of ID.

About Lucha VaVOOM:
For 15 years, Lucha VaVOOM has been delivering arguably the most electrifying shows on earth with a mind-blowing mix of Mexican masked wrestling, burlesque and comedy. Founded in Los Angeles in 2002 by Rita D’Albert and Liz Fairbairn, Lucha VaVOOM – voted Los Angeles’ “Best Burlesque Show” by LA Weekly for 2012 and 2013 – is good vs. evil played out in quick, exhibition-style, one-fall Lucha Libre matches for maximum enjoyment and action. Lucha VaVOOM has created a Los Angeles tradition: from the low-rider car parade escorting the performers as the crowd enters the iconic Mayan Theater, to the local luminaries they attract (Drew Carey and Jack Black have sat in), to burlesque (which was revived right here in Los Angeles), to Lucha Libre, where masked heroic wrestlers, in character-driven style, flip, fly and amaze. It all comes together to make one fun, surreal, glam-bam spectacle of raucous entertainment. You could say it’s a wrestling show for people that don’t like wrestling (and those that do). The Los Angeles Times said, “Far-out flamboyance always prevails at Lucha VaVOOM, a spectacle of Mexican freestyle wrestling with an L.A. twist (7/9/06).”
At Lucha VaVOOM, they like a little sexo with their violencia. In between matches, the finest handpicked burlesque acts from around the world wow the crowds with their unique striptease skills, including raucous aerial acts, daredevil roller-skate girls, and Guinness-World-Record-holding hula-hoop hotties. The Los Angeles-based performance troupe has regularly sold out 1,000-seat venues across the globe (Amsterdam, Calgary, Toronto, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and Philadelphia, among many other cities), performed at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and Big Day Out Festival in Australia since its birth in 2002 and call Los Angeles’ Mayan Theater – an elaborately appointed, 1927-built former motion-picture palace – home when not on the road.
