Porkpie Productions, Coney Island USA & Marxfest present A Day on the Boardwalk, A Night at the Strip Show

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 the People’s Playground is famous for! 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. This madcap frolic returns in 2025 to kick off the Coney Island USA Burlesque at the Beach weekly summer season with another 3 night run.
