Bump and Grindhouse
Lady Aye and Weirdee Girl are pleased to present: Bump 'n' Grindhouse -- the scariest thing to hit Coney Island since Thor Equities! Bringing together equal parts tongue in cheek, blood and gore and T'n'A, Bump 'n' Grindhouse is a shaking, shimmying, loving homage to the creature features and midnight movies of days gone by brought to you by some of New York burlesque's sweetest star attractions. All killer, no filler, it's burlesque that boils down cult films to the best part - the ominous trailer - without skimping on shock, schlock, or laughs-a-plenty!

The evening's all-star cast of nudie cuties include: Weirdee Girl, Nasty Canasta, Creamy Stevens, Fem Appeal, Minnie Tonka & Miss Kissy Wishes. Along with, your emcee, the sweetheart of the sideshow, The Lady Aye! Plus a half-time spooktacular with prizes from sponsors Live Fast NY and Something Weird Video! So, run, don't walk to see the standing room only, thrill ride that has had audiences screaming with delight. . .IF YOU DARE!

Note: The producers of Bump 'n' Grindhouse believe some of the images contained in this show to be so shocking that a nurse will be on hand to tend to any patrons who faint from sheer terror or mental over-stimulation. In addition, the management has arranged for each audience member to receive a "Shock Insurance" Policy indemnifying them against the pure thrills and entitling them to a chance at valuable raffle prizes!

Rated G for G-Strings.

Ixion's "Down & Dirty Lounge" began at the Coney Island Mermaid parade of 1999. Pianist Albert Garzon and blues vocalist Lex Grey did something unheard of at that time: they created a cabaret incorporating forgotten hits of the teens, 20's and 30's with dirty-sexy Jokes. Today the show has grown into a Two-Act, live-music burlesque starring:
Gal Friday (Miss Coney Island), Fleur de Lys, Madame Hari, Jasmine Blushes and Venus Velour.

Albert's ragtime/blues piano and Lex Grey's sultry voice are the perfect backdrop for authentic old-school burlesque. This show is Down and Dirty, with more than a touch of class!!

A Day On The Boardwalk, A Night At The Freak Show
Pinchbottom returns to the classic Marx Brothers-inspired world of "The Pinch Brothers (also sisters)" with a follow-up to their most popular show ever: An all-new scripted show created just for Coney Island's Burlesque at the Beach!

THE PINCH BROTHERS (also sisters) RETURN! in "A Day On The Boardwalk, A Night At The Freak Show" Starring Jonny Porkpie as "Porko", Nasty Canasta as "Nasto", Tigger! as "Tiggo", and an all-star cast of burlesque beauties.

When all the freaks in the sideshow quit because of Porko The Great, he has to find replacement acts -- and fast! So he recruits a pair of Boardwalk grifters (Nasto & Tiggo) to shanghai "volunteers" for that night's show. But when, instead of hapless victims, they kidnap a bevy of burlesque performers from the Mermaid Parade, the show goes on... and goes on a lot further than anyone ever expected! The antics will be, one assumes, madcap.
