Two burlesque scripts by Jonny Porkpie inspired by and tributing the Marx Brothers. "The Bawdy House" - The burlesque show the Marx Brothers never did! Dateline: Between half-past 1920 and quarter-to 1937. When disreputable producer Ziegsky Minsfeld is hired to save an ailing theater, he and two dubious associates convert it to a bawdy house, complete with ribald comedy, risqué magic, and burlesque, burlesque, burlesque! But on opening night, everything goes wrong -- the police are watching, buttons keep popping, pants keep dropping, a reviewer is in the front row, and the schtick keeps getting schtickier. "A Day on the Boardwalk, A Night at the Stripshow" - Dateline: 1938! After shutting down New York’s striptease shows, an ambitious city official turns his prudish attentions to Coney Island, scheming to terminate the 10-in-1, the thrill rides, the midway games, and everything else the People’s Playground is famous for! It’s up to the Flim Flam Sideshow's house doctor, a boardwalk grifter, and a suspiciously silent merchant of wieners to thwart the pernicious politico … with burlesque! Classic comedy meets carny meets the ol' bump-n-grind in this burlesque tribute to the Marx Brothers.
