DEAD SEXY Pinchbottom celebrates the dark side of the Winter Holidays. Ah, December! A chill is in the air. Festive decorations sparkle in the aisles of each and every store, giant snowflakes brighten the avenues, jaunty carols jingle incessantly on the radio, and gift suggestions dance through the commercial breaks of each and every one of your favorite shows. All of which would be fine and dandy... if it hadn't started on Halloween. Yes, we're sick of it already. And by December 15th, we'll be ready to kill ourselves, along with everyone else. Which makes it just the right time for PINCHBOTTOM'S CREEPING XMAS DEATH, the perfect cause for those Holiday Blues. When NASTY CANASTA and JONNY PORKPIE try to mount "Pinchy's First Non-Denominational Holiday Enjoyment Fest," a Pinchbottom burlesque holiday special, who should come knocking at the door but Mr. Angel of Death? And, given that he's been force-fed holiday cheer for over a month, this Grim Reaper is even grimmer than usual. So when Nasty and Jonny invite their family and friends -- including BELLE MORTE-BAUDELAIRE, CREAMY STEVENS, DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA, DIRTY MARTINI, JO BOOBS, LITTLE BROOKLYN, SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD, VELOCITY CHYALDD, VERONIKA SWEET, TIGGER, and TRIXIE LITTLE & THE EVIL HATE MONKEY -- to perform in the show, none of them will make it out alive. On Friday, December 15th at 10pm, indulge your murderous holiday rage during an evening of necrophilic burlesque that can only be described as "dead sexy" in PINCHBOTTOM'S CREEPING XMAS DEATH. Collective:Unconscious presents Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious PINCHBOTTOM'S CREEPING XMAS DEATH a burlesque holiday special Friday, December 15 @ 10pm | Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $10 | Tickets at www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or by calling TheaterMania.com (866) 811-4111 | Beer & Wine Bar Hosted by Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie, Starring Belle Morte-Baudelaire, Creamy Stevens, Darlinda Just Darlinda, Dirty Martini, Jo Boobs, Little Brooklyn, Schaffer The Darklord, Velocity Chyaldd, Veronika Sweet, Tigger, Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey | Made possible, in part, by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council with generous support of The September 11th Fund ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE Pinchbottom is where burlesque meets downtown theater, buys it a drink, and takes it to bed. Pinchbottom produces monthly themed burlesque shows at Collective:Unconscious. Hosts NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontannes of the New York Burlesque scene, although they do perform together with alarming frequency. Their ecdysiastical duets and acclaimed puppet burlesque acts have appeared at The Slipper Room, RiFiFi, Galapagos Artspace, Le Scandal, Show, Southpaw, HERE, Coney Island Burlesque at the Beach, and The New York Burlesque Festival, as well as with Punch! Puppetry Cabaret, Drama of Works, Slutty Puppets, and more. Nasty Canasta won the 2006 NY Burlesque Festival award for "Performer to Watch Out For in 2007"... so when 2007 rolls around, watch out! "Wicked senses of humor" -The Village Voice; "Comedy and partial nudity go remarkably well together. Where else can you hoot, whistle, and bust a gut laughing?" -NY Theatre.com; "Hilarious burlesque" -Next Magazine; "Your perverted genre fantasies have come shimmying to life" -Time Out New York
