SUPERPOWERED BURLESQUE IS BACK IN ACTION POW! ZAP! BOOB!, Pinchbottom's most-requested show, returns Friday June 15th @ 10pm Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Beer & Wine Bar Tickets: www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or 212-352-3101 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, BASTARD KEITH, CREAMY STEVENS, GIGI LA FEMME, HARVEST MOON, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, PRECIOUS LITTLE, SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD, SCOTT RAYOW and SETH HERZOG bring down the villainous hosts? Or will these burlesque heroes be defeated by the dangerously sexy ULTIMATE STRIPTEASE WEAPON? "Summer is the traditional time for overblown superhero blockbusters, and we're no exception," says Pinchbottom, "but we intend to bring new meaning to the phrase 'tentpole release' with POW! ZAP! BOOB! Super-Powered Burlesque." On Friday, June 15th at 10pm, come watch "a new disturbing breed of superhero" (The Village Voice) "show the Man of Steel just how to get those tights off" (Time Out New York) in "a hilarious send up of comic books" (Next Magazine), with burlesque tributes to BATGIRL, CATWOMAN, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, HARLEY QUINN, JIMMY OLSEN, LOIS LANE, POISON IVY, SIDEKICKS, SUPERGIRL, THE THING, VAMPIRELLA, VILLAINS, WONDER WOMAN, X-MEN, and more! POW! ZAP! BOOB! puts both the "action" and the "figure" in "action figure." POW! ZAP! BOOB! has not been approved by the Comics Code Authority of America.

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. 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. "Wicked senses of humor" -The Village Voice (A Voice Choice); "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
