A Trip to Coney Island - FRINGE XX

A Trip to Coney Island @ Geordie Espace 4001 Venue #3. By Zero Boy Productions - N.Y.C. Great show! Humor, nostalgia, history all in one by one performer who made a great soundtrack while taking his nephew to Coney island. Not to miss! I was blown away and felt like I was a kid again and on top of that I learned a lot about the fascinating world of Coney Island. 4 cents. Sylvester

A Trip to Coney Island @ Geordie Espace 4001 Venue #3. By Zero Boy Productions - N.Y.C. Co-written and directed by Armitage Shanks. The 'sights' and 'sounds' of the N.Y.C. buroughs are brought to life at the Fringe by this charismatic solo artist giving all of us a 'taste' of the tradition, the history, the mystery, and the eternal charm of this famous attraction called Coney Island. As we meander our way to our seats in the space we're greeted by vibrant decorative tapestries that are suspended above the stage, and 'carnivalesque' music plays in the background creating a fitting ambiance for the setting of the play. Enter a larger than life man in a quirky outfit with a flare of flamboyance introduced as Uncle Zero. He is taking his nephew (the audience) to visit Coney Island located off Manhattan Island beyond Brooklyn. Ride the roller coaster and other amusement rides, stroll along the beach side, or have some cotton candy and even enjoy an original Nathan's hot dog all while being thoroughly entertained. The only thing disappointing about this show is that it had to end as it will leave you wanting more. 4 cents. Dee Arr

A Trip to Coney Island With Uncle Zero Boy: Certainly had Scooby Doo working up an appetite for hot dogs and cotton candy. Zero boy packed in a non stop ride through his precious Coney Island. Sounded like lots and lots of fond memories were had there for someone! This guy is so precise with his movement and vocal delivery that it took about the first ten minutes to adjust to what I was experiencing. Here I thought George Lucas had cornered the market on special effects? Never ever seen or heard anything quite so extraordinary as Zero Boy. How does he do it? Fastest fullest 45 minutes of my Fringe life! Delightful, skilled and chocked full of fun! 5 cents.
