¡ESTAR GUARS! Comedy Fiesta

*25% DISCOUNTED EARLY BIRD TICKETS ON SALE NOW!*

(REGULARLY $25, NOW $20 FOR A LIMITED TIME!)

This summer, celebrate the holiday weekend with Emmy-nominated sketch group The Latino Comedy Project in a comedy fiesta set “not long ago, in a barrio just around the way…”

This is not your fanboy’s Star Wars.

Watch the hilarious preview video!:

In ¡Estar Guars!, The Latino Comedy Project asks the question: What would Star Wars have looked like if George Lucas had been JORGE Lucas?

In a loving homage of live comedy, original videos and visual spectacle, ¡Estar Guars! re-creates the classic sci-fi rebellion as a modern-day Resistencia, complete with Galactic Walls, space chanclas, migrant moisture farmers, fearless princesas, mystical abuelas and the targeting of Sanctuary Planetas by an evil empire determined to MAGGA (Make A Galaxy Great Again).

They're all here: Luke, La Princesa Leia Organa-Cortez, Tio Juan Kenobi, Yola, R2Me2, Darth Vendido, ICE Troopers and more!

Critics called ¡Estar Guars! "a witty homage to the classic film so many love, full of charm and hope for a better world for all people, a feel-good interlude for our troubled times" and "one of the funniest live shows I've ever seen."

In an encore of its popular previous sold-out runs, ¡Estar Guars! promises a one-of-a-kind live multimedia comedy show full of high adventure, swashbuckling duels, and adorable furry brown creatures speaking in exotic alien tongues - like Spanglish!

¡Estar Guars! is written and directed by LCP Artistic Director Adrian Villegas (Gentrif*cked, Barrio Daze.)

(This show is performed mostly in English with some Spanglish and is rated PG-13.)

ABOUT THE LATINO COMEDY PROJECT

The Latino Comedy Project is an Emmy-nominated sketch troupe known for its political and pop culture satire in full-length, award-winning multimedia shows.

The San Francisco Chronicle hailed the LCP as “hilarious” and “murderously funny."

The LCP’s YouTube comedy videos have amassed over 14 million views worldwide. The LCP cast also developed, wrote and starred in an MTV3 comedy branding campaign for which the group received an Emmy nomination.

The LCP's most recent critically-acclaimed sketch show Gentrif*cked enjoyed sold-out runs from Texas to California, being called "a satirical masterpiece" and receiving “Best Of Austin” recognition by Austin Chronicle critics.

Recently, Austin City Council member Jose Velasquez and the City of Austin honored the LCP's rich 25-year contribution to the city's cultural life by declaring March 7, 2024 Latino Comedy Project Day.

Check out a few of the LCP’s pop-culture mash-ups and comedy videos: Port-A-Border, Transmorfers, Accordion Hero and Gentrification, Explained.

They’re bad. They’re brown. They're The Latino Comedy Project.
