Stripper/Carny/Cowboy
Wild West meets Bump & Grind meets 10-in-1
Presented by Porkpie International
Friday, July 18 @ 7pm
For one night only, "Mayor of Burlesque" Jonny Porkpie teams up with "Strange for Hire" sideshow legend Donny Vomit and international cowboy superstar Chris McDaniel for a brand new show unlike any they have ever done. Featuring Bunny Buxom, Frankie Sin, and more. The year: 1899. On the dusty trails of the American traveling show circuit, there are two main contenders in the battle for audiences: "Cowboy Chris' Wild West Extravaganza" and "Dapper Donny V's Circus Carnival Sideshow." For years, these arch-rivals have used every trick in the book (some too dirty to write down) to steal crowds from each other, but when a new show takes to the road-one that offers its thrills not in the form of sword-swallowing or whip-cracking, but in the burgeoning art of "strip-tease"-they must join forces to bring down the upstart. Will "Professor Porkpie's Bim-Bam Burlesque Spectacular" fall to the machinations of these con men, or will nudity conquer all? There's only one place to find out: in STRIPPER/CARNY/COWBOY, this July at The Kraine Theater! Miss This At Your Peril.
