On the corner of Surf Avenue & West 12th Street in the heart of the Coney
Island amusement park.
The rest of the week also has some amazing shows and activities, including
the introduction of the "Freak Show Hall of Fame," Super Freak Weekend,
Strange And Unusual Feats Open Call; shows by Circus Amok and Harley Newman;
and more.
The venue is amazing-besides the 99-person theater, there is a Freak Bar
(serving beer) and a Gift Shop. Both the inside and the outside of the
historic 1917 building are decorated in canvas sideshow banners painted by
Valerie Haller or Marie Roberts. The building was originally Child's
Restaurant which employed singing waiters. In the 1950s and 60s it was home
to Dave Rosen's Wonderland Circus Sideshow where such legends as Sealo the
Seal Boy, JoJo the Dogfaced Boy, tattooed man Jack Dracula, and talker Bobby
Reynolds once worked and performed. Please note my new contact information!
