Skankfest Announces Initial Lineup, Tickets onSale Now!

 

Last year, New York City comedy festival Skankfest was launched, quickly making a name for itself as one of the rawest, most cohesive, most talent-driven festivals in the city. The brainchild of comedian and Legion of Skanks co-host Luis J. Gomez, The Creek and the Cave owner Rebecca Trent, and Interrobang contributor, What’s Your F#$king Deal?! co-executive producer and all-around comedy wunderkind Christine Evans, Skankfest is meant to be a raunchy, uncensored, non-stop fun festival that’s hosted by comedians, for comedians, and it’s safe to say they’ve nailed that with flying colors. Now, the team behind Skankfest is gearing up for the fest’s second year, and it really looks like they’re going to outdo themselves this summer. That being said, as of today, tickets for the event are on sale and can be bought at this link. All-Access VIP passes are $90, while single-day passes for Saturday and Sunday are $50.

Taking place from June 23rd – June 25th, the second annual  Skankfest is looking to recapture the communal weekend-long party vibe that they had last year. Unlike other city-based festivals, which often lack cohesiveness due to their taking place across multiple venues, most of Skankfest’s shows will be held at the sprawling Creek and the Cave. The Creek is huge, with two stages, two bars, a restaurant and an outdoor patio, so it’s in the unique position of being able to host most of the fest’s events comfortably. Any events too large for the Creek will be held at the Gantry Loft, which is walking distance from the club. Seeing as how the Creek is the de-facto home base for the Legion of Skanks podcast, it’s only right that all of the Skanks gather there for a weekend of debauchery.

The organizers have only released a fraction of the total list of performers who are scheduled to make appearances, and already they’ve got an insane amount of talent lined up. Showcases, individual performers, podcasts and themed shows like the Naked Roast Battle mean that there’s something at Skankfest for everyone. Below is the list of shows and performers that have been announced so far.

Performers:

Adam Friedland, Andrew Schulz, Annie Lederman, Anthony DeVito, Artie Lange, Bert Kreischer, Big Jay Oakerson, Bonnie McFarlane, Chris Gethard, Dan Soder, Dave Smith, Duncan Trussell, Greg Stone, Jessica Kirson, Jessimae Peluso, Joe List, Josh Adam Meyers, Justin Silver, Keith Robinson, Kurt Metzger, Luis J.
