Mexican wrestling meets cabaret chaos at The Troxy
The wildly entertaining spectacle makes its long-awaited UK debut this November.
After 12 years of entertaining audiences worldwide, Lucha VaVOOM is bringing its unique show to London on Saturday 8th November at The Troxy. The evening combines masked Mexican wrestlers with world-class variety acts for an unpredictable night out.
The show features authentic Lucha Libre wrestling matches alongside comedy acts, musical performances, and variety shows. "There's no show that's funnier, sillier or more entertaining than this one," says Eric Idle of Monty Python, while Vanity Fair calls it "a madcap mix of Mexican wrestling, comedy, and vintage burlesque."
Since launching in Los Angeles in 2002, Lucha VaVOOM has played to over 35,000 fans across Paris, Japan, Calgary, and Australia. Previous acts have included Peaches, Fred Armisen, Jack Black, Drag Race winner Violet Chachki, and 12-time Guinness Record Holder Marawa the Amazing.


Creator Rita D'Albert discovered her passion in the post-punk Los Angeles scene after reinventing herself from flautist to guitarist and entertainment producer. "When I first saw Lucha libre, I fell in love," she explains. "The masks, the characters & the outrageous feats of physicality blew my mind!"
This isn't typical wrestling. The quick exhibition matches serve as foundation for broader entertainment that D'Albert calls "a wrestling show for people that don't like wrestling, and those that do!"
"It has always been my dream to bring this to London," says D'Albert. "We've wowed New York, Paris, L.A., but I've always had my sights on the UK."
Lucha VaVOOM hits The Troxy on Saturday 8th November for an evening where anything can happen.
