Things are definitely not groovy in Disco City, where rollerskating Crime Boss NASTY CANASTA runs an illicit burlesque and counterfeiting ring with a satin-gloved fist. There’s just one hope for this jive town: Funkadelic policeman JONNY PORKPIE and the far-out detectives of P.I.N.C.H. Squad. Can you dig it?

At 10:30pm on Saturday June 13, Pinchbottom travels back in time to the sexy seventies to follow the officers of the “Police Investigative Narcotics, Counterfeiting & Hootchy-kootch Squad” as they try to bring down the bad guys in a world gone mad. But can the polyester-clad Fuzz solve the mystery of who stole the decade's fashion sense? You've never been happier to see clothes come off than when P.I.N.C.H. SQUAD 70s Cop Show Burlesque returns for the first time in almost two years!

With burlesque tributes to the best and worst of 70s — including The Bionic Woman, Blaxploitation, Disco, Ultrasuede, Dancin’ Queens, Leather Queens, and more — by hosts NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE, as well as ANITA COOKIE, BASTARD KEITH, CREAMY STEVENS, DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA, LITTLE BROOKLYN, NAUGHTIA NICE, SCOTT RAYOW, TIGGER!, this show is guaranteed to Let it All Hang Out!

Don‘t miss the triumphant return of one of PINCHBOTTOM’S GREATEST HITS. In the words of the Village Voice: “Crime Fighting Hotties... Charlie’s Angels, Starsky & Hutch, and Police Woman were all classic cop shows of the ’70s, but to the creators of Pinchbottom Burlesque, they all lacked one vital detail: nudity. Now the best burlesque show in town seeks to ratify that with its new crime-fighting caper P.I.N.C.H. Squad... Undoubtedly, strip searches will be a recurrent theme.”

Will the baddies Keep On Truckin’? Or will The Pigs be the ones that Have a Nice Day? Find out as you get your (pet) rocks off in Pinchbottom’s final monthly show, P.I.N.C.H. SQUAD 70s Cop Show Burlesque.

Explore the inner mind of burlesque with Pinchbottom Burlesque. Now Off-Broadway, 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 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
