Dateline: 1938! After shutting down NY’s striptease shows, an ambitious city official turns his prudish attentions to Coney Island, scheming to terminate the 10-in-1, the thrill rides, the midway games and everything else that made the People’s Playground so famous! It’s up to the Flim Flam Sideshow's house doctor, a boardwalk grifter and a suspiciously silent merchant of wieners to thwart the pernicious politico…with burlesque! Classic comedy meets carny meets the ol' bump-n-grind in this burlesque tribute to the Marx Brothers.
Featuring Miss Coney Island winners Frankie Eleanor and Gigi Bonbon, burlesque stars Dutch Baby, Peekaboo Pointe, Susie Dahl and starring Jonny Porkpie, Lady Scoutington and Tigger! as the "Siblings", with special appearance by Coney Island USA artistic director Adam Realman and author of The Burlesque Handbook Jo Weldon, A Day on the Boardwalk, A Night at the Stripshow is a hilarious journey into the Coney Island of yesteryear... which turns out to be not so different from today.
