I had the amazing opportunity to attend my second Lucha VaVOOM variety show on Friday, May 4 at the Mayan Theatre.  I covered the event for the Corsair [Newspaper].  Lucha VaVOOM is filled with non-stop action and humorous commentary from the hosts.

The show is not for the faint of heart.  Lucha libre [masked men wrestlers] in super tight tights followed by burlesque dancers revealing almost all to the crowd.  Lucha VaVOOM is a must for people over the age of over 21 in LA.  The shows happen roughly every 4 months for two nights.  Make sure to purchase your tickets and don’t be afraid to dress in costume.

Here is the story and layout that ran in Corsair.

Additional photos from the night.
