BURLESQUE AT THE BEACH!
FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 10PM, $15
PINCHBOTTOM PRESENTS: A DAY ON THE BOARDWALK, A NIGHT AT THE SIDESHOW
Join The 1930s. It is the Golden Age of Coney Island. The amusements of Steeplechase and Luna Park overlook beaches filled with sun-dappled bathers. Excitement-seekers had their choice of acres of rides and attractions: The Wonder Wheel, The Cyclone, The Thunderbolt, The Tornado, The Pavilion of Fun, The Insanitarium. And you couldn't toss a dwarf without hitting a ten-in-one, whether The Coney Side Show, The World Circus Sideshow, or The Palace of Wonders Freak Show. It is also the Golden Age of Burlesque, as Gypsy Rose Lee, Sherry Britton, and Sally Rand toured stages across the country and around the world.
And finally, it is the Golden Age of Movie Comedy: The Marx Brothers ruled the Silver Screen, releasing eight classic movies during the decade. But these three Golden Ages never came together in one place... until now. On Friday, August 21, 2009 at 10pm, "The Pinch Brothers (also sisters)" spend A DAY ON THE BOARDWALK, A NIGHT AT THE SIDESHOW when Pinchbottom Burlesque presents a brand-new homage to the Marx Brothers created explicitly for Sideshows By The Seashore at Coney Island.
When Hugo J. Porkenbush, house doctor to the Coney Island Sideshow, accidentally incapacitates all the performers, he has to find replacement acts -- and fast! So he recruits a pair of Boardwalk grifters (Nasto& Tiggo) to shanghai "volunteers" for the show. But when, instead of hapless victims, they abduct a bevy of burlesque performers from the Mermaid Parade, the show goes on... a lot further than anyone expected!
Starring: NASTY CANASTA, JONNY PORKPIE, and TIGGER! as THE PINCH BROTHERS plus ALBERT CADABRA, DONNY VOMIT, GAL FRIDAY, JULIE ATLAS MUZ, LITTLE BROOKLYN
