Los Angeles, CA (August 1, 2024)‒Lucha VaVoom de La Liz (LVVDLL)—where world-class professional lucha libre wrestling, burlesque, aerialists, comedy, music, and more collide—is returning for their annual summer spectacular show on Friday, August 16th to their historic home venue, The Mayan Theatre (1038 S Hill St.), in downtown Los Angeles.

LVVDLL is turning up the heat for their summer show, dubbed Rumble in the Jungle ‒ promising to set your heart ablaze with an unforgettable array of superstar wrestlers, daring aerialists, and alluring burlesque goddesses; mixing LVVDLL’s brand of sexo y violencia like never before. Tickets for this 21+ event are on sale now for $51.00‒$72.00 at LuchaVaVoomdeLaLiz.com.

Co-founded in 2002 by Liz Fairbairn and Rita D’Albert as Lucha VaVOOM (LVV), Los Angeles’ longest-running, most celebrated variety show has been wowing audiences across the globe for over 20 years. In February 2022, LVV re-emerged out of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Fairbairn alone curating, producing, directing, and financing close to twenty Lucha VaVOOM shows through 2023 (including LVV’s 20th anniversary celebration throughout 2022, as well as the launch of a Las Vegas residency at the legendary House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, which kicked off in July, 2023 with two shows, with more dates to come this year). As LVV’s sole producer for the last two years, Fairbairn also oversaw and directed a special tribute show (Sept. ‘23), in partnership with Amazon Prime Video, honoring her close friend and one of LVV’s biggest stars, the trailblazing lucha libre wrestler and queer icon Cassandro. Plus, Fairbairn brokered two unique cross-promotional collaborations for LVV with major movie studios, including with Sony Pictures for their original action thriller film Bullet Train (July ‘22) and Warner Bros. Pictures’ for their feature film Blue Beetle (August ‘23). Fairbairn headed into 2024 with her new production company ‒ Lucha VaVoom de La Liz. Says Fairbairn, “I could not be more grateful for my awesome and dedicated production team, and our spectacular international talent. I look forward to exploring new ground creatively and new collaborations, as well as getting our show into new markets.”

The lineup for this year’s summer show features Taya Valkyrie (AEW superstar and four-time AAA Reina de Reinas champion), Magno “The Man Mountain” Rudo, The Aswang, Aéreo, Chupacabra, Centinela, Destiny, Sexy Y Caliente, fan favorite Li’l Cholo, Los Crazy Chickens, the unidentified flying object and perennially airborne Jack Cartwheel, “Pretty” Peter Avalon, and Dirty Sanchez, the scatological master of lucha libre with his underhand dirty tricks and signature move “A Taste Of The Awful!”
