Brought to you by Coney Island U.S.A.
Brilliant. Amazing. Award-winning.
World-renowned. These are just a few
of the superlatives that describe BB Heart, Jo Boobs, Legs Malone, and
Peekaboo Pointe. But have you ever wondered what insanity lies beneath
all
that talent, all that sexiness, all those beautiful outfits, all those
clever concepts? In a world that already allows performers to do almost
anything they want, what will burlesque performers create when given the
freedom to do absolutely anything they want?
Find out Thursday, May 20, when the Burlesque Mayor of New York City
encourages the best in burlesque to embrace their worst instincts in
JONNY
PORKPIE'S BAD IDEAS.
In the first half of the night, each performer will present one of the
acclaimed burlesque numbers for which she is best known. In the second
half, Porkpie has challenged those same performers to bring to life one
of
the most idiotic notions they have ever voiced in his presence.
"The first act will be a glorious showcase of the wonders of the modern
burlesque, filled with beautiful women performing the brilliant acts
which
best exemplify their skill, humor, and sexiness," said Porkpie. "The
second act will be a fantastic freakin' trainwreck. In what way? I
don't
know. I doubt if the performers themselves know. In fact, there's only
one way to find out: come see the show."
In the past few years, a bevy of Bad Ideas have tried to take over Coney
Island. But none have been this sexy. BAD IDEAS Burlesque is hosted by
JONNY PORKPIE, and stars BB HEART, JO BOOBS, LEGS MALONE, and PEEKABOO
POINTE (in her only Coney Island appearance of the summer!)
Tickets are $10 at the door.
