PINCHBOTTOM JINGLES BELLS... ALL THE WAY Leaves HOW THE PINCH STOLE XMAS under your tree Friday December 7 @ 10pm Saturday December 8 @ 10pm HOW THE PINCH STOLE XMAS Holiday Burlesque at Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Beer & Wine Bar | Tickets: www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or 212-352-3101 All the Hos down in Ho-Ville like XXXmas a lot. But the Pinch, who lived just North of Ho-Ville, did not... When NASTY CANASTA takes charge of the Holiday Pageant, she decides to celebrate "the 12 Days of Xmas" with nudity, using burlesque stars for sexy tributes to each traditional "true love" present, from drummers drumming to ladies dancing to a partridge in a pear tree. But the grinch-like (but legally distinct) "Pinch" (JONNY PORKPIE) wants to keep Xmas clean and pure as the virgin snow, and so dresses up like a Burlesque Santa and sets out to kidnap each and every performer in Nasty's show. Pinchbottom closes out its 2007 Season with a stocking-stuffer that takes on the holidays as only Pinchbottom can; from behind. Burlesque Santa's sack is full of goodies for all the bad boys and girls, including BAMBI THE MERMAID, BASTARD KEITH, DELIRIUM TREMENS, GIGI LA FEMME, MISS SATURN, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, ROSE WOOD, TIGGER and a special holiday visit from ANITA COOKIE & SCOTT RAYOW. And the best part is... these presents unwrap themselves! Will The Pinch have a change of heart in time to save Nasty's pageant? Or will Xmas remain forever G-rated? The Holiday Season kicks off (its pants) on December 7 and 8 with Pinchbottom's HOW THE PINCH STOLE XMAS. Collective:Unconscious presents Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious Friday December 7 & Saturday December 8 at 10pm HOW THE PINCH STOLE XMAS Holiday Burlesque Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Tickets available at www.pinchbottom.com/tickets | Beer & Wine Bar | Hosted by Nasty Canasta & Jonny Porkpie starring BAMBI THE MERMAID, BASTARD KEITH, DELIRIUM TREMENS, GIGI LA FEMME, MISS SATURN, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, ROSE WOOD, TIGGER & a special visit from ANITA COOKIE & SCOTT RAYOW ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE "BEST BURLESQUE in NY" - New York Magazine's Best of New York 2007 "MOST INNOVATIVE" - Burlesque Hall of Fame Exotic World Pageant 2007 "THE BEST BURLESQUE SHOW IN TOWN" - The Village Voice Explore the inner mind of burlesque with 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious.' 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. "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 more
