Summer Season Kicks Off With FANS

Summer starts early with MY BIGGEST FAN hot hot cooling burlesque, when hosts NASTY CANASTA and JONNY PORKPIE, along with burlesque stars DIRTY MARTINI, DELIRIUM TREMENS, JO BOOBS, LITTLE BROOKLYN, LUKKI, RUBY VALENTINE, SCARLET SINCLAIR, VERONIKA SWEET, BELLE-MORTE BAUDELAIRE, and magician ALBERT CADABRA kick off the season with a live demonstration of Pinchbottom's patented 3-step method of beating the heat through the magic of burlesque. Step 1: Get a fan (or two). Step 2: Perform a coquettish yet alluring dance. Step 3: Take off your clothes.

Says Pinchbottom: "To me, fan dances have always raised the question: how can people use an object so cooling to make performances so hot? I'll be watching every act in this show very carefully to see if I can discover the secret... why not join me?"

MY BIGGEST FAN is filled with fabulous classical fan dances and some modern twists of the wrist, including BRAND NEW NUMBERS from Jo Boobs, Scarlet Sinclair, and Nasty Canasta, RARELY SEEN GEMS by Little Brooklyn, Lukki, and Albert Cadabra, and FAN FAVORITES from Dirty Martini, Delirium Tremens, Ruby Valentine, Veronika Sweet, and Belle-Morte Baudelaire. MY BIGGEST FAN: the hottest way to cool down this summer.

ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE

It is a subsidiary of 4Panel Productions, producer of the TheaterSounds Hudson Valley Playreading Series, and co-producer of puppet theater powerhouse Tiny Ninja Theater.

ABOUT THE HOSTS
