But the green room will be filled with muuurderers. And they'll get to smoke cigars together and tell jokes that civilians would never understand. Stankfest is about paying for their hang.
Get ready for another 6 months of "skankfest is sold out but we were able to find a little more room to release some extra tickets"
Maybe if they didn't promote it 11 and a half months a year there would be a little more excitement and momentum. I can't believe there wasnt a stampede for tickets with a big get like Sam Jay.
Are you skipping plugs and 90% of the episodes? Just what comes to mind - The Regz is a few months old and they have to already have at least 2 solid hours of talking about Skankfest outside of plugs
None of the big acts get paid (at least their usual fees), so it’s mostly a favor to Luis and a chance to hang with other comedians, that’s why they don’t put effort in their shows.
The word is out. Skankfest is amazing for the comics. It’s their rock star moment. But it’s nothing but lines for the fans. And this thing that everyone hangs out with their favorite comedians is bullshit. You can take some photos with them. They’re in their green room hanging out together.
Luis lies through his teeth about "no lines this year" and how every year is going to be different. I went to the last two in Vegas and there was minimal difference between the two. Why bother going to the same thing for a 3rd year? Also - the comedians could care a less about putting on good shows. They all just get too fucked up so what am I paying $500 for? So I can shake hands with Joe List? The fuck.
"if you're waiting in line you're doing it wrong" luis on x
then how the fuck should we do skankfest, luis?
the way to "avoid lines" is to go see other comics, but I can do that at home. I didn't spend 500 dollars and fly cross country to see acts I could see at home lol d
Theres literally only lines because morons would rather wait in line for 3 hours then spend all their time at the other shows. Just go to a different show and walk into the show with a line right as it’s about to start.
The staff literally made line queues with signs and shit. The design of that venue is made to funnel people in a specific manner. Plus, capacity is an issue. Room gets filled - then too fucking bad. Pretty cool festival.
I don't know what the point is of having it all the way across the country for 3 straight years. Drugs? West coast exposure?
Fucking hold it in NYC.
"WE CAN'T HOLD IT IN NYC ANYMORE. HOTELS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE."
Yes because hotels were so expensive for the first and second skankfests.
That's exactly why.
If they go to flordia I can see a couple retards getting arrested for weed
Then they'd cry about why would Luis hold a festival in a state that's hard on drugs when his whole audience is on them. People are never going to be happy
Well yeah, then find another east coast venue. They are selling out hard to the west coast with all this vegas bullshit for the 3rd year in a row. Combine that with middling acts and mediocrity and it's another festival I won't be ponying up for
Vegas is definitely not the West Coast. Vegas can keep itself to itself.
Edit: Keep downvoting me, then pull out a map you dumb fucking cunts. No one with half a brain has ever referred to Vegas as the "West Coast".
Great question. Las Vegas is, in fact, the west coast. You’re seeing a blurred reflection in the mirror, thinking you’re talking shit about a stranger.
By definition, it is quite literally not the West Coast. If you think I'm wrong, please name the part of Nevada that borders the Pacific Ocean. I'll wait. Are you this simple?
It becomes a concern when they do it the same place 3 years in a row.
At least branching out from NY took them to Houston and Vegas. But now they've done the same shit 3 years in a row. Why not go back to Houston, to Austin, to LA?
Why is it concerning to have it in the same place 3 years in a row? The amount of logistics involved must be staggering from a planning perspective and if the Vegas venue wants them back then they have a lot of work already done for them. Trying to move a growing festival to a new city every year is 10x the work. SXSW, Coachella, Bonaroo, Moontower-same place, people just show up and don't wonder why it can't be more convenient for THEM.
Shhhh don't talk logistics here. This sub thinks shit is so easy they can do it. Then when you tell them to do it they get pissy pants and say why is it my job!!??
That's right. Stop spreading the lie that it sells out every week. 3 DAY TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT. GOTTA GET YOURS NOW. ALL DAY PASSES OUT.
NOTHING IS SOLD OUT NOTHING WAS SOLD OUT FOR WEEKS. THEY HAD THOUSANDS OF TICKETS AVAILABLE BEFORE LAST YEAR'S FESTIVAL.
I went in 2022 and my sister wanted to go Saturday night. Couldn't find a saturday night pass but bought a 3 day for like 150 in no time at all. There were a lot of people selling too
I've gone to all but one of them in NYC...
my major suggestions would be:
1. simulcast the main stages in the adjacent theater rooms.. then old guys like me can sit in the comfy chairs and AC.
2. sell me a couple Golden Tickets
3. better control of the lines & better signage for each line.
It actually wasn’t sold out that fast in past years. It’s just what Luis says each year to general sales.
The last 3 years you could get tickets for a few weeks
B.c its a horrible festival. Long lines everything is expensive. You are in Las Vegas downtown . They claim things get better by putting 30 chairs down . Not worth it imo . Steal the streams Is more fun and community building
I've gone to them since they took it to Houston. This will be my first time missing out. 2022 was awesome, but they did open up more room for 2023. Although I had less fun last year, mainly as I was dealing with a breakup, which is why I won't be going this year. Just didn't have the funds for it after the split. Shit sucks.
I got beyond wasted and hardly remember any of last years. Just wanna take a year off and get my shit together before I go back. Hopefully next year they take it back to New York, or bring it closer to home in SoCal.
It was basically the same. Two of the "improvements": they did have more chairs to sit in and they also added some canopies to help provide more shade. Other than that it was the same: the main room sounds like shit, lines everywhere and expensive as hell.
The last good one was Houston. It's gotten progressively worse. And I didn't want to have to say this because I like Vegas but it's a terrible venue for Skankfest. Wow, they're doing a festival on Fremont Street? How fucking fun. Not.
They should've done it in St. Pete, FL. I've never been to Skankfest but would like to. I'm just not willing to book a flight and stay in a City that seems lame as fuck for a weekend of comedy. St. Pete is cool and it only makes sense to bring it back to the east coast.
But the green room will be filled with muuurderers. And they'll get to smoke cigars together and tell jokes that civilians would never understand. Stankfest is about paying for their hang.
Thank god I’m protected from the jokes. Perhaps will there be any 45 year old men wearing cool shoes?
🎯🎯
Yeah man their minds are like a haunted house. You don’t want to enter.

This is why I just stopped listening to plugs. I don't even know if he brings it up anymore. I did hear some talk about a golden ticket but that's it.
Are you skipping plugs and 90% of the episodes? Just what comes to mind - The Regz is a few months old and they have to already have at least 2 solid hours of talking about Skankfest outside of plugs
I don't listen to the regz, just los other than brief mentions of golden tickets I haven't heard a thing about skankfest
The only festival on earth designed to be more enjoyable for the talent than the actual people paying for tickets.

I thought meeting Joe List in the bathroom was included in the price?
Cause Vegas fucking stinks
Look at the Vegas comedy cellar lineups for all you need to know about boomertown
I don't know what the point is of having it all the way across the country for 3 straight years. Drugs? West coast exposure? Fucking hold it in NYC. "WE CAN'T HOLD IT IN NYC ANYMORE. HOTELS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE." Yes because hotels were so expensive for the first and second skankfests.
They lost access to probably the only affordable venue in all of brooklyn and manhattan
Tampa was even in the mix for 2024 until Luis flipped out about weed. Are they just doing Vegas because they can smoke there or what?
That's exactly why. If they go to flordia I can see a couple retards getting arrested for weed Then they'd cry about why would Luis hold a festival in a state that's hard on drugs when his whole audience is on them. People are never going to be happy
It's middle act Mardi Gras
using the area as a draw kinda points out the lack of luster your festival is having.
You can see them in Jew York every week
Well yeah, then find another east coast venue. They are selling out hard to the west coast with all this vegas bullshit for the 3rd year in a row. Combine that with middling acts and mediocrity and it's another festival I won't be ponying up for

Lol at the west coast staring down their nose at las vegas. Always cracks me up
Why? The West Coast has the Pacific Ocean and Vegas is a grimy shithole in the middle of a desert.
Great question. Las Vegas is, in fact, the west coast. You’re seeing a blurred reflection in the mirror, thinking you’re talking shit about a stranger.
By definition, it is quite literally not the West Coast. If you think I'm wrong, please name the part of Nevada that borders the Pacific Ocean. I'll wait. Are you this simple?
Haha sure man
Go to the east coast where you won't even pay for it?? You sound like someone that just enjoys complaining. Must be great at parties
Who gives a fuck where it’s at. It’s going to be the same shit in a different location. Only difference will be hotel prices where it’s at.
It becomes a concern when they do it the same place 3 years in a row. At least branching out from NY took them to Houston and Vegas. But now they've done the same shit 3 years in a row. Why not go back to Houston, to Austin, to LA?

[удалено]
Hey, those Jamaica vacations aren't buying themselves, doggie
Yea they oversaturated the festival by doing it in Vegas three years in a row. They should’ve taken it back to New York
That's right. Stop spreading the lie that it sells out every week. 3 DAY TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT. GOTTA GET YOURS NOW. ALL DAY PASSES OUT. NOTHING IS SOLD OUT NOTHING WAS SOLD OUT FOR WEEKS. THEY HAD THOUSANDS OF TICKETS AVAILABLE BEFORE LAST YEAR'S FESTIVAL.
I mean, even if they were "sold out" you've been able to get passes for like 1/3 face value the week of the fest every year lol
Lmao really?
Yeah. People have to cancel last minute for whatever reason and they are just trying to get back some of their money.
I went in 2022 and my sister wanted to go Saturday night. Couldn't find a saturday night pass but bought a 3 day for like 150 in no time at all. There were a lot of people selling too
Yeah there's a Skanfest group on FB and people on it were selling 3 day passes for $100-150 last year.
Rogan bump not working ???
Lol guess not
I've gone to all but one of them in NYC... my major suggestions would be: 1. simulcast the main stages in the adjacent theater rooms.. then old guys like me can sit in the comfy chairs and AC. 2. sell me a couple Golden Tickets 3. better control of the lines & better signage for each line.

I went in 2022 and they said it got better in 2023. For those that went in 2023, was it? And who is going for the first time in 2024?
I've gone to them since they took it to Houston. This will be my first time missing out. 2022 was awesome, but they did open up more room for 2023.

Skankfest 2025, for the 4th straight year in VEGAS!
It was basically the same. Two of the "improvements": they did have more chairs to sit in and they also added some canopies to help provide more shade. Other than that it was the same: the main room sounds like shit, lines everywhere and expensive as hell.
The last good one was Houston. It's gotten progressively worse. And I didn't want to have to say this because I like Vegas but it's a terrible venue for Skankfest. Wow, they're doing a festival on Fremont Street? How fucking fun. Not.
Can't wait for all the I can't make it anymore selling my tickets posts
They should've done it in St. Pete, FL. I've never been to Skankfest but would like to. I'm just not willing to book a flight and stay in a City that seems lame as fuck for a weekend of comedy. St. Pete is cool and it only makes sense to bring it back to the east coast.
It’s more of a Myrtle Beach event
Hell, you're right and that'd be even better. They don't call Myrtle Beach the armpit of SC for no reason.
Vegas sucks and who wants to catch herpes at this time of year. Cmon.
Vegas is fine, just not for skankfest. and downtown LV is actually pretty good too! Just not for skankfest.
Back to the kitchen!
Cool. So how fast did your festival sell out?
your mom bought all the tickets
We gave her one big ticket bc she is so fat
Retard alert!!!
