Coney Island USA’s Sideshows by the Seashore Theater is home to the last permanently housed Circus Sideshow in the USA. Fellow animal lover, Laure (from the Gift Shop) has provided 4 tickets to the 2024 production of the Sideshow AND a stack of cool merchandise! There’s even a sweet tee shirt featuring @sideshow_cat (a.k.a. Johnathan Vesuvius VonVladimir Cat Wyckenstein) who is often found lounging ON the Freak Bar’s, uh bar. LOL.

I don’t know about you but I’m a total sucker for a cold beer in a cool bar that also has a soft kitty to scritch!?! Total trifecta of awesomeness. I may never leave the premises.

The family friendly sideshow features classic acts and cirque feats presented by New York's finest and most talented sword swallowers, fire eaters, glass walkers aerial and variety artists.

They carry on the best of the Sideshow's long standing traditions- but with a postmodern twist. In other words, they are rooted in 1923 but they realize it's 2023. The diverse cast and employees want you to know that everyone is welcome there!

The Gift Shop, located on the first floor, offers a wide selection of Coney-themed tee shirts and apparel, jewelry, and gifts — including Museum merchandise and books of interest. You’re guaranteed to find the perfect gift for your favorite Coney-fan (or yourself)!

So step right up! The cast, Laure and Johnathan Vesuvius VonVladimir Cat Wyckenstein look forward to seeing your and your friends’ smiling faces during their 2024 season!
