VaVOOM TO HEADLINE THE ‘EL JIMADOR MEXICAN WRESTLING
BAR’ AT BIG DAY OUT 2013...
LUCHA
VAVOOM HEADED TO BIG DAY OUT 2013...
Direct
from the US, the Lucha VaVOOM troupe will be putting
on a show quite unlike any other at BIG DAY OUT 2013.
Lucha VaVOOM is non-stop, action-packed surrealism
where Mexican masked wrestlers perform breathtaking
acrobatic feats in a fast-paced, fun-filled, character-driven
style. Known for their far-out flamboyance, its quick,
exhibition-style, one-fall Lucha Libre matches designed
for maximum enjoyment and action.
The
ultimate distraction, Lucha VaVOOM 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, pogo-stick peelers and hula-hoop
hotties. Their insane antics have Jack Black proclaiming
“Lucha VaVOOM is the shit!” and it’s
easy to see why.
Celebrating
their tenth anniversary, Lucha VaVOOM have only got
crazier over time. Rooted in history, they draw inspiration
from the bizarre world of sixties Mexican Lucha Cinema.
The troupe has been considered one of the most outrageous
shows on earth having performed sold-out shows all
around the world, they have taken to the stage alongside
the likes of legends such as Jon Stewart and Dave
Chappelle, as well as appearances on Jimmy Kimmel,
Attack of the Show, Carson Daly and A Current Affair.
Los Angeles Times said the Lucha VaVOOM show “has
the pacing of a prison break” and BIG DAY OUT
2013 punters are set for something spectacular with
the crew perform in a dedicated area. Here’s
what the press have had to say:
“Lucha
VaVOOM has a big future.” TIME MAGAZINE
“…
It’s enough to make even the most jaded Hollywood
insider jump up and yell ‘Smackdown.” ROLLING
STONE
“…a
raucous and irreverent extravaganza of burlesque,
comedy and classic Mexican luchadore wrestling.”
THE HUFFINGTON POST.
“Lucha
VaVoom is the most exciting, bonkers show I’ve
seen in ages.” THE FACE (UK)
“A
madcap mix of Mexican wrestling, comedy, and vintage
burlesque. I love, love, love it.” VANITY FAIR
“…a
weird mix of cabaret, burlesque, Mexican Luchador
wrestling with a live DJ, crowd interaction and commentary…depending
on the night, people like Drew Carey turn up to do
commentary for it. It is the most bizarre experience.
The entire audience is dressed up and it’s like
Halloween, everyone is in some weird costume. It was
the greatest night of entertainment I have probably
seen in my entire life.” ROVE MCMANUS
Lucha
VaVOOM will be appearing at the El Jimador Mexican
Wrestling Bar at all 2013 Big Day Out dates.
Mexican Masked Wrestling + Burlesque + Comedy = Lucha
VaVOOM...
Lucha
VaVOOM is a non-stop, action-packed scream-a-thon,
where Mexican Masked wrestlers flip and fly, performing
breathtaking acrobatic feats while battling evil luchadores.
Historically speaking, Lucha VaVOOM brings the bizarre
world of 60’s Mexican Lucha Cinema to life. Brave,
masked wrestling crime fighters save the world from
evil brains, vampires, the Bermuda Triangle etc; always
with an obligatory stop at the local go-go club.
In-between
matches, the finest, handpicked burlesque acts from
around the world astound; at Lucha VaVOOM, we like
a little sexo with our violencia. Raucous aerial acts,
Pogo-stick peelers, hula-hoop hotties; we’ve
got it all!
But
wait there’s more! Our color commentary is handled
by comedians Tom Kenny, Dana Gould and Blaine Capatch.
Other guest commentators include Fred Armisen, Brian
Poussein, Patton Oswalt, Greg Proops, Jeffrey Ross
and Bobcat Goldthwait. Even Jack Black sat in, proclaiming
“Lucha VaVOOM is the sh*t!
It
all began in August 2003 as a one off event. The overwhelming
crowd response convinced Rita & Liz to do it again,
and as soon as possible.
Ever
since, Lucha VaVOOM has played at the Mayan Theater
in Los Angeles three times a year -- Valentines Day,
Mid-summer, and Halloween. From there, Lucha brought
it’s circus to Toronto, where they did two nights
at the Koolhaus and made every newspaper and TV news
program, including Much Music.
In
2005, Lucha VaVOOM was asked to be a part of the first
HBO Las Vegas Comedy Festival, where they performed
alongside Jon Stewart, Lewis Black and Dave Chapelle.
That same year they performed at the famous Sony E3
party at Dodger Stadium, where they took the spotlight
away from the Pussycat Dolls.
Lucha
VaVOOM has gone on to perform in Chicago, San Francisco
and Amsterdam, with more cities on the way.
They’ve
also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, CBS National News,
G4's Attack of the Show, Channel X in Britain and
A Current Affair just to name a few.
