"Comedy and partial nudity go remarkably well together. Where else can you hoot, whistle, and bust a gut laughing?" --NYTheatre.com full review PINCHBOTTOM TAKES ON SUPERHEROES IN POW! ZAP! BOOB! Burlesque performances burst out of comic books, shirts When hosts NASTY CANASTA and JONNY PORKPIE are bitten by a radioactive spider as they rocket from their exploding home planet, a bat flies through the window of their ship, exposing them to cosmic rays which activate their latent mutant abilities. Confused by the ludicrous mix of powers they receive, Nasty and Jonny turn to evil and set out to conquer the world. Can superpowered performances by ANITA COOKIE, CREAMY STEVENS, GIGI LA FEMME, HARVEST MOON, MISS FIRECRACKER, PEEKABOO POINTE, BASTARD KEITH, NAUGHTIA NICE, SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD, and SETH HERZOG bring down the villainous hosts? Or will these burlesque heroes be defeated by the dangerously sexy ULTIMATE STRIPTEASE WEAPON? "By August 18, all the summer blockbusters have come and gone from your local cinema, but never fear," says Pinchbottom, "We intend to bring new meaning to the phrase 'tentpole release' with POW! ZAP! BOOB! Super-Powered Burlesque." On Friday, August 18th at 10pm, with burlesque tributes to BATGIRL, CATWOMAN, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, JIMMY OLSEN, LOIS LANE, POISON IVY, SIDEKICKS, SUPERGIRL, SHE-HULK, VAMPIRELLA, VILLAINS, WONDER WOMAN, THE THING, and more, POW! ZAP! BOOB! will put both the "action" and the "figure" in "action figure." POW! ZAP! BOOB! has absolutely not been approved by the Comics Code Authority of America. Collective:Unconscious presents Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious POW! ZAP! BOOB! Superpowered Burlesque Friday, August 18th @ 10pm | Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $10 | Advance Tickets available at TheaterMania.com | Beer & Wine Bar Hosted by Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie | Starring Anita Cookie, Creamy Stevens, GiGi La Femme, Harvest Moon, Miss Firecracker, Peekaboo Pointe, Bastard Keith, Naughtia Nice, Schaffer the Darklord, and Seth Herzog | Made possible, in part, by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council with generous support of The September 11th Fund ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE Pinchbottom Burlesque is where burlesque meets downtown theater, buys it a drink, and takes it to bed. Pinchbottom creates themed burlesque shows, linking together striptease and variety acts from top performers with a topical narrative. Since April 2006, Pinchbottom has produced a monthly show at Collective:Unconscious, to themes such as Blasphemy, Science Fiction, Fans, and Drinking. Hosts NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontaines of the New York Burlesque scene, although they do perform together with alarming frequency. Their ecdysiastical duets and acclaimed puppet burlesque acts have appeared at The Slipper Room, RiFiFi, Galapagos Artspace, Le Scandal, Show, Southpaw, HERE, Coney Island Burlesque at the Beach, and The New York Burlesque Festival, as well as with Punch! Puppetry Cabaret, Drama of Works, Slutty Puppets, and more. Nasty Canasta is the winner of a 2005 NY Burlesque Fest award for "Hottest Freshman".
