Lucha Va Voom makes comeback at Mayan for last event before…
Lucha VaVoom de La Liz (LVVDLL), a unique blend of professional lucha libre wrestling and high-energy burlesque performances, is hosting their annual summer event one last time at the iconic Mayan Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The venue, set to close next month, has been the heart of LVVDLL for 23 years and will be bidding farewell in style. The event, named “The Good, The Bad, and The Fabulous,” promises an exhilarating evening of wrestling, burlesque, aerial acts, comedy, music, and more, offering a dazzling display of talent and entertainment.
LVVDLL owner Liz Fairbairn expressed gratitude to The Mayan Theatre for its longstanding support and role in nurturing the group since its inception. The venue has been instrumental in providing a stage for LVVDLL’s outlandish blend of performances, establishing itself as an integral part of the group’s history and success. Although bidding farewell to The Mayan is bittersweet, LVVDLL looks forward to continuing their legacy at a new home, with an announcement planned for September.
The summer spectacular event boasts a star-studded lineup of wrestlers, including renowned fighters like Misterioso Jr., TJ Perkins, XTREME Tiger, and Magno, bringing an electrifying mix of athleticism and showmanship to the ring. The addition of female wrestler Viva Van adds a new dynamic to the lineup, promising an exciting display of talent and skill. Fan favorites such as Paquita VaVoom and Dirty Sanchez round out the card, ensuring a night filled with suspense, action, and surprises.
In addition to the thrilling wrestling matches, the event features a stellar cast of burlesque performers, including Banbury Cross, Skylar Benton, and the Poubelle Twins, known for their captivating and mesmerizing acts. Comedic relief will be provided by MC Blaine Capatch and celebrity co-host Drew Carey, who will deliver a mix of humor and entertainment throughout the evening. The show promises to be a riot of laughter, excitement, and spectacle, appealing to a diverse audience looking for a night of fun and thrill.
LVVDLL traces its roots back to the early 2000s when it was established as Lucha VaVOOM (LVV), evolving into one of Los Angeles’ most beloved variety shows. Following a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LVV made a strong comeback in 2022, producing a series of successful shows and collaborations that propelled it back into the spotlight. Liz Fairbairn, the creative force behind LVVDLL, has been instrumental in shaping the group’s success, forging partnerships with major studios and venues to expand its reach and appeal.
As LVVDLL prepares to bid farewell to The Mayan Theatre, the upcoming event serves as a fitting tribute to the venue’s legacy and LVVDLL’s enduring spirit. With a promise of more excitement and entertainment in the future, LVVDLL is gearing up to continue its legacy at a new venue, ensuring that its unique blend of wrestling, burlesque, and comedy will captivate audiences for years to come.
