P.I.N.C.H.B.O.T.T.O.M. takes on 007 in YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE "No, Mister Bond. I expect you to STRIP." MISSION BRIEFING: The world is, as usual, in trouble... menaced this time by the Pernicious INternational Cartel of Horrible Baddies Out To Take Over el Mundo (P.I.N.C.H.B.O.T.T.O.M.), whose plan for global domination -- to use the twirling of burlesque performers' tassels to hypnotize the populace into submission -- is not the most ludicrous in the 44-year history of the 007 franchise. But P.I.N.C.H.B.O.T.T.O.M. will soon discover that The Twirl is Not Enough. Because on November 17, 2006 at 10pm, James Bond* is back... but this time, he has a "License to Pinch" in Pinchbottom Burlesque's undercover extravaganza YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE. "Your perverted genre fantasies have come shimmying to life" once again (Time Out New York) as Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious takes aim at the world's best-known secret agent. YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE is hosted by NASTY CANASTA (as James Bond*) and JONNY PORKPIE (as her arch-nemesis Porkfeld), supported by a cadre of superspies, double agents, and villainous henchgals, including ANITA COOKIE, BASTARD KEITH, CLAMS CASINO, DELIRIUM TREMENS, GIGI LA FEMME, JO BOOBS, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, SCARLET SINCLAIR, SCOTT RAYOW, TIGGER, and VERONIKA SWEET... keeping the British end up while performing burlesque acts to James Bond themes. And all this is happening on same night as the opening of the new official 007 movie, Casino Royale. So if Daniel Craig doesn't quite do it for you as the next James Bond (or even if he does), why not come see how Nasty Canasta handles the role*? ...and the girls. Because YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE... and TWICE is the only way to pinch. (* Or rather, an unlicensed parody thereof.

Pinchbottom produces monthly themed burlesque shows at Collective:Unconscious. Hosts NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontannes 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 won the 2006 NY Burlesque Festival award for "Performer to Watch Out For in 2007"... so when 2007 rolls around, watch out! "Wicked senses of humor" -The Village Voice; "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
