Sharkbite Sideshow

Critics' Pick from TimeOut NY again! http://www.timeout.com/newyork/search?keyword=sharkbite+sideshow&on=&location=

The boobie count is rising as we return for our second Friday the 13th show of 2012.

Sharks love Friday the 13th. So join Joe the Shark and his incredible cast for more storytelling, more sideshow, and more burlesque!

With Coney Island Lager drink specials thanks to the wonderful people at S.K.I. Beer!

Featuring:

You host, Epic Win Burlesque's NELSON LUGO.

The sultry siren of the sideshow, KRYSSY KOCKTAIL.

The sensational SASHA FIREGYPSY.

With performances by:

APATHY ANGEL.

Miss Coney Island 2012, BB HEART.

BURKE HEFFNER, your warped storyteller.

CARDONE, The Vaudeville Magician.

The legendary twisted mind of CREAMY STEVENS.

ROULETTE ROSE, bringing you a little southern discomfort.

with SYDNEY SUNRISE shaking it for your preshow pleasure, JOE CURRY behind the bar, and JOE THE SHARK at the door.

Who will be the first to go in the basement when the power goes out? Who will run half naked through the bar screaming to get away? You'll have to go to R-BAR to find out. 218 Bowery, between Prince and Spring. 8pm, $10.

Sharkbite Sideshow is not only naughty, but it's nice as we donate a portion of the proceeds to shark conservation. These creatures are being hunted to extinction. For every human killed by a shark, humans kill two million sharks.* Sad but true.

Sharkbite Sideshow is produced by Joe the Shark on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month at R-Bar.
