This Bossier Parish Native Will be Appearing at Geek’d Con

Shreveport's comic con, Geek'd Con, is coming back to Downtown Shreveport this August. The 2024 Geek'd Con will take place August 16th, 17th, and 18th, at the Shreveport Convention Center.

Tickets for this year's Geek'd Con are available right now. You can get yours here.

The guest lineup will include horror movie icon Tony Todd, Scrubs star John C. McGinley, the voice of Master Chief Steve Downes, award winning actor Billy Zane, the voice of Mickey Mouse Bret Iwan, and many more incredibly talented celebrities.

One of the guests coming to the event is an Ark-La-Tex native! From Haughton, Louisiana, it's Josh Martin, the voice of Majin Buu from the Dragon Ball universe.

Josh Martin, best known as the voice of Majin Buu (Fat, Evil, and Kid) in the Dragon Ball universe. Martin not only voiced Buu in American dubs of the cartoon, he got a chance to voice the character in the Dragon Ball Z video games. He's voiced "The Buu's" in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Kai, Dragon Ball Super, as well as movies and video games in the series.

You've also heard or seen Josh in My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, multiple Louisiana Film Prize movies, as well as Barney & Friends...

You heard that right, he's Barney...he has plenty of stories about being in the suit, and how playing that character led to him ending up in the game Trivial Pursuit.

Josh Martin, the 318 Great, will be joining a huge list of guests in Shreveport this year, and you can be a part of the show too. Tickets are on-sale now.

Having all of these stars at Geek'd Con gives you the ability to get autographs in person, and also your chance to get pictures with those celebrities. Most celebrities are all about taking selfies at their booths, but they also give you the chance to have a professional photo taken too. Though some of the guests do not do pictures at their tables, and only do Pro Photo Ops.

Here's a look at how much celebrities may charge for autographs and pictures:
