Skankfest isn’t a comedy festival.
It’s a full-contact sport for comedians and fans who prefer their laughter loud, late, and completely unfiltered.
And in 2025, it’s going even bigger.
Here’s what you need to know.
⚜️ New City, Same Chaos
This year, Skankfest takes over New Orleans from November 14–16 — bringing its signature blend of stand-up, podcasts, surprise sets, and pure mayhem to one of the most unpredictable cities on earth.
If you thought it got wild in Vegas or Brooklyn, just wait until Bourbon Street joins the lineup.
🎤 The Lineup: Who’s Coming
The official lineup is stacked — featuring underground legends, crowd favorites, and big names who feel way too famous to be doing a room this intimate. Here are just a few confirmed:
- Shane Gillis
- Mark Normand
- Duncan Trussell
- Patton Oswalt
- Robert Kelly
- Big Jay Oakerson
- Brendan Sagalow
- Aaron Berg
…plus dozens more. And trust us — the surprises are half the show.
🎟️ Tickets, Access, and the Culture
If you’re wondering whether to buy a single-day pass or go full 3-day immersion, just know this: the culture of Skankfest isn’t just about who’s on stage.
It’s about bumping into comics in the hallway.
It’s about 2 a.m. shows that shouldn’t exist.
It’s about realizing your favorite podcast guest just did a 15-minute riff on a folding chair.
This isn’t a polished, mainstream comedy showcase — it’s punk rock for stand-up fans.
🤝 Why It Matters to Platforms Like MintComedy
Skankfest is the opposite of algorithmically groomed content. It’s raw, rowdy, and real — the same energy MintComedy taps into with its live-streamed shows from the Comedy Cellar and its 24/7 channel.
You’re not watching comedy as content.
You’re watching comedy as it happens — and that’s what keeps people coming back.
🛑 Final Tip: Don’t Wait
Tickets went on sale May 2, 2025, and they don’t last. If you’re even thinking about going, grab a pass and figure the rest out later.
Because the best part of Skankfest?
It’s not knowing exactly what you’re walking into — just that it’s going to be unforgettable.
