RACK 'EM UP Pinchbottom is back on the field with BALLS! sporty burlesque Friday, May 16 & Saturday, May 17 @ 10pm BALLS! Sporty Burlesque at Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa TICKETS: www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or 212-352-3101 Admission: $15 | Beer & Wine Bar | Press Pix: www.pinchbotttom.com/press/photos/ Time to score! It's the bottom of the 4th down, and Pinchbottom is on the ropes with the bases loaded and the tally 40-love. Can the home team birdie the goal from the foul line to slam-dunk the match, or will they stumble into the net on the final lap? You've never seen sports action quite like the action you'll see when Pinchbottom's BALLS! Sporty Burlesque returns. Tragedy strikes a small town when beloved Coach Pinchy is fatally killed in a deadly accident. So it's up to Assistant Coaches Jonny Porkpie and Nasty Canasta to whip an all-burlesque-star team into fighting shape in time to win the coveted Gold Trophy Cup Award Prize at the biggest athletic event of the year: the SportsLympics. And they'll do it... for Coach Pinchy. "This team has their eye on the prize," says Coach Canasta, "and that's not all they have their eye on, if you know what I mean. But if we stay sharp and play hard -- really, really hard -- I know we can take our opponents down. And also possibly defeat them at sports." Coach Porkpie added, "We're doing this for Coach Pinchy." With burlesque tributes to everyone's favorite (and least favorite) sports, BALLS! Sporty Burlesque promises to go the whole 9", hit below the belt, put the "end" in "end run", the "rear" in "rear guard", and bring deeper meaning to the phrase "double header". It's a whole nude ballgame! For Coach Pinchy. Remember, it's not about whether you win. It's about how you lose... your clothes. Collective:Unconscious presents PINCHBOTTOM'S SUB:CONSCIOUS BALLS!

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
