PINCHBOTTOM EXPLORES NAKED PLANET "Best Burlesque in New York" takes on Science Fiction Friday November 16 @ 10pm Saturday November 17 @ 10pm NAKED PLANET Sci-fi Burlesque at Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Beer & Wine Bar | Tickets: www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or 212-352-3101 NEW YORK CITY: On November 16 & 17, "the best burlesque show in town" (Village Voice) takes on Science Fiction as Pinchbottom Burlesque rockets through time and space to find the hottest world in the known universe... NAKED PLANET. "Your perverted genre fantasies have come shimmying to life" (Time Out New York) in a dark future where burlesque is forbidden on all civilized worlds. After years of searching the galaxy, Rogue Starship Captain Jonny Porkpie and his attractive band of space rebels have located exiled Burlesque Queen Nasty Canasta. But can the captain and his scantily-clad crew shake and shimmy well enough to prove themselves worthy of an scintillating alliance that will restore the balance of sexiness to the universe? "I'm not only a burlesque performer, I'm also a card-carrying geek," says Nasty Canasta, "So it just made sense to combine the two passions." When asked to prove her statement, Nasty named all ten actors who played the "The Doctor" in long-running British television show Doctor Who before delivering a point-by-point comparison of every Star Trek captain and hazarding a guess about the identity of the last human Cylon. New York Magazine's 2007 "Best of New York" pick for Best Burlesque, Pinchbottom is always "sexy, campy fun with just an insinuation of nudity (thanks, in part, to creative costuming). But this is hardly the same old song and fan dance. Each month, co-hosts Jonny Porkpie and Nasty Canasta script a new show featuring many of the city's top performers, whose betasseled numbers leave enough to the imagination to make for an uproarious evening." (New York Magazine) With burlesque tributes to STAR TREK, STAR WARS, DOCTOR WHO, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, ROBOTS, TIME TRAVEL, and much, much more, Pinchbottom's NAKED PLANET is a hilarious mobeus striptease you'll want to travel through time to see over and over again.

Each monthly journey centers around a different theme, linking together striptease and variety acts from top performers with a topical narrative... and, believe it or not, a plot. 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious' is where burlesque meets downtown theater, buys it a drink and takes it to bed. The show is hosted by NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE, who should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontannes of the New York Burlesque scene, although they do perform together with alarming frequency. "Wicked senses of humor" -The Village Voice (A Voice Choice); "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
