8th Annual Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition Set for 9/5

Adam RealMan and Coney Island USA Present: The 8th Annual Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition at Sideshows by the Seashore!

The strangest and most extravagant beards and moustaches descend upon Coney Island to see whose facial hair reigns supreme. Founded in 2008, the Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition has grown to become one of Coney Island's most unique evenings of entertainment. Over the past seven years, hundreds of bearded men (and women) have competed to take home the much coveted Beard & Moustache Fez trophy.

"This year's event promises to be the zaniest and most fun one ever! We've got a co-host who's a stand up comedian, a judge coming in from Oklahoma, and a bunch of great vendors and sponsors. This is more than just a beard competition," said Adam RealMan, producer and co-host of the show, "It's some of the wackiest entertainment located in the birthplace of wacky entertainment!"

Coney-centric categories for the competition include 'The Brass Ring' (Best in Show), 'Coney Island Curl' (Best Moustache Styled), 'Moustachio Marvel' (Best Moustache Natural), 'Ballyhoo Beard' (Best Beard Styled), 'Man or Beast' (Best Beard Natural), 'Hokum and Hoodwinked' (Best Fake Beard or Moustache), 'Come Out To Play' (Strongest Team Participation) and of course the much coveted 'Carny Trash' (Worst in Show).

This year's event will be co-hosted by stand up comedian, Don Jamieson, of VH1's hit program, That Metal Show and Coney Island personality, Adam RealMan.

Guest judges include Katherine Turman, co-author of the critically acclaimed book, 'Louder Than Hell, the Definitive Oral History of Metal', Comedy Magician and facial hair champion Jim Daly, Steven Jones, producer of Screamin' Steven's Beef Jerky and Matt Chrystal, President of the Garden State Beard & Moustache Society.

Serpentina and Betty Bloomerz of the Coney Island Circus Sideshow will entertain the guests with their unusual acts and electrifying feats.
