THE LIZARDMAN
The Lizardman is not your usual entertainer. Covered with more than 700 hours of tattooing to effect reptilian scales over his entire body, with subdermal implants creating horned ridges over his eyes, teeth filed to points, and a surgically forked tongue he more than lives up to the images conjured by his peculiar but apt moniker. Onstage, The Lizardman seamlessly blends stand up comedy, spoken word, and sideshow stunts both old and new into an amazing and offbeat one of a kind experience that his audiences never forget.

SIDESHOWS BY THE SEASHORE is located at the corner of Surf
Avenue & West 12th Street in the heart of the Coney Island amusement
park. The sideshow seats 99 people and there is a FREAK BAR (serving
beer) and a GIFT SHOP in the lobby. Both the inside and the outside
of our historic 1917 building are decorated in canvas sideshow banners
painted by Valerie Haller or Marie Roberts. The building was originally
Child's Restaurant which employed singing waiters. In the 1950's
and 60's it was home to Dave Rosen's Wonderland Circus Sideshow
where such legends as Sealo the Seal Boy, JoJo the Dogfaced Boy,
tattooed man Jack Dracula and talker Bobby Reynolds once worked
and performed. SIDESHOWS BY THE SEASHORE is available for private
rentals with or without the live sideshow performers. We have been
rented for weddings, rock videos, fashion photography, etc. Please
call the office at (718) 372-5159 for rental rates.
