Finocchio’s was a San Francisco cabaret which offered drag shows and was in business for over three-quarters of a century. Finocchio’s was also a San Francisco night club which featured a roster of drag performers. It may well have been the longest-lived club of its kind in the U.S., operating from 1936 to 1999.

The booklet contains portraits of various of the establishment’s drag performers. The OCLC lists very few examples of any program from any time frame.
