The Wicked Gingers are bringing the sauciest Cape Cod clam bake to Coney Island this summer! A night of classic and neo-burlesque inspired by coastal New England brought right to the back door of Brooklyn, New York!

From Coney Island's earliest days as a natural park to its heyday as a place for amusement and bathing in the late 1800s and early 1900s. From its destruction and decline in the middle 20th century to its revitalization in the 21st, Coney Island has had a long and interesting history. Clara Coquette presents a tale of this history through burlesque and sideshow with tributes to Coney Island's rides and amusement parks, bathing beauties and circus performers, events and characters, and much more.
