Announcing the 9th season of America's Favorite Burlesque Game Show!

THIS OR THAT!
Monthly at Coney Island's infamous Sideshow by the Seashore theater!!

Coney Island, NY -- Back by popular demand, Fred Kahl, a.k.a. THE GREAT FREDINI, renowned sword swallower, magician, improvisation wizard presents and hosts America’s Favorite Burlesque Game Show - THIS OR THAT!, a twisted homage to classic game shows.  The show features two contestants picked from the audience, a wheel that issues racy challenges, two curtains concealing world class burlesque and variety artists, and sex toys for prizes. THIS OR THAT! is back for their 9th season at Sideshows by the Seashore’s Burlesque at the Beach series in Coney Island for Four shows beginning June 26th through September 25th.

Bootylicious co-host Julie Atlas Muz, burlesque bombshell and art starlet, calls the shots as contestants vie for cash, prizes, and the chance to be spanked. The fun and humiliation climax when the "winning" contestant chooses one of two curtains: "This" or "That", out of which emerges either a classic burlesque hottie or an act that stinks so bad it's brilliant! The audience cheers on contestants as they meet the show's challenges answering trivia questions, stuffing marshmallows in their mouth, and guessing the weight of Wonderful Woman's rack. 

Featured in the show this season will be a wide assortment of unusual variety acts from around the world, including: the This or That Girls, Bambi and Bunny Love, Bandleader Brian Fisherman, London’s Sealboy Mat Fraser, Queen LaQueefa (Guess what her act is!), Jackie the Human Tripod, furry musical band Xylopholks, reigning Miss Coney Island Gal Friday, Pinchbottom Burlesque, Trixie Little & the Evil Hate Monkey, Tigger and many more!

However, the real stars of the show are the contestants who are chosen straight out of the audience before every show! You’ll laugh so hard it hurts at the things people will do to win a vibrator! So c'mon and have a good time! Come down to Coney Island this summer, ride the Cyclone, have some cocktails, then come see what goes down at Aamerica’s Favorite Burlesque Game Show…This or That!  Now That's Entertainment!

THIS OR THAT! plays this summer June 26, July 31, August 28 and September 25th at 10 PM at Coney Island USA’s Sideshows by the Seashore (1208 Surf Avenue, corner of W12 Street, Brooklyn, N.Y.). D, Q or F train to Stillwell Avenue.  Tickets $15 and can be purchased at the door.
