DOTTIE LUX'S CLOWNS OF CONEY ISLAND

Dottie Lux is turning Coney Clowny once again!

The circus is always in town when the town is Coney Island, they're all here! real! and clownin'! on the inside for you! The cast is known for sword swallowing, fire eating, snake charming, big busty bumps and grinds, being electrocuted on stage and you'll see all that and more!

Not in over 2 years has New York seen a show like this, because that's when Dottie Lux, Clown Burlesque Babe, left her beloved rotten apple for San Francisco, the land of avocados and marijuana and took "Clowns of Coney Island" with her. You have all but rarely seen her big bouncing balloons or shiny red nose since then and it is her esteemed honor to bring back to you the downtown clowns you have come to know and love, but you rarely if ever see them like this: a little more silly a little more filthy and entirely CLOWNED!

Dottie Lux welcomes performances by:
albert cadabra as ALBERT CLOWNDABRA
nik sin as NIK SIN THE CLOWN
world famous *bob* as PETUNIA PIEFACE
serpentina as CLOWN SERPENTINA
insectavora as INSECTAVORA THE CLOWN
remy vicious as CLOWNY VICIOUS
glenn marla as GLENN CLOWNLA
AND SO MANY MORE!
