THE SCHLEP FAMILY SHENANIGANS

…There will be shenanigans!

The Schlep Sisters are hosting a family reunion and you’re invited! They’re gathering their eccentric burlesque family at their Coney Island Summer Share for a raucous reunion dinner.

Starring The Schlep Sisters, Minnie Tonka and Darlinda Just Darlinda; Bunny Love as Bubbe Love, who flies in from Boca Raton with her hot, young goy boy toy, Go-Go Harder, the Shabbes Goy; Raven Snook as the overbearing triple D, Mama Schlep; Mel Frye as the Drunk Uncle who doesn’t leave home with out a full bottle of Manischewitz; Julie Atlas Muz as the 2^nd Cousin twice removed and a product of an interfaith one night stand; Little Brooklyn as Cousin Schlep, returns from a night in jail after riding the Cyclone in the nude; and hosted by the twisted and loveable Bastard Keith as Brother Schlep.

THE SCHLEP FAMILY SHENANIGANS is a rowdy, zany, not-to-be-missed spectacle. Come join the Schlep Tribe as they celebrate their inappropriate and outrageous burlesque family!

NYC’s biggest burlesque stars are ready for battle – and this time it’s biblical, as they fight to decide which holiday is hotter: Easter or Passover.

In one corner, the juiciest Jewesses this side of Mount Sinai are spitting out their matzos and gearing up for a face-off that’s hotter than horseradish. In the other corner, the curviest Christians since Mary Magdalene are ripping off their Easter bonnets and preparing for a rumble that’s stickier than marshmallow Peeps.

THE BURNING BUSH VS. THE SECOND COMING is a bawdy, action-packed, not-to-be-missed burlesque showdown pitting Moses against Jesus, resurrection against liberation, chocolate bunnies against gefilte fish. So come cheer for your favorite prophet and see which side wins.
