PINCHBOTTOM RETURNS TO "THE BAWDY HOUSE" Marx Brothers-themed show kicks off 2008 Season Friday January 18 @ 10pm Saturday January 19 @ 10pm THE PINCH BROTHERS in "THE BAWDY HOUSE" at Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Beer & Wine Bar | Tickets: www.pinchbottom.com/tickets/ or 212-352-3101 Watch the Trailer Dateline: Hollywood. The 1930s. It was the heyday of the Pinchbottom Motion Picture Company, the golden years when the studio produced their finest work: the madcap black and white comedies featuring the antics of the vaudevillian troupe THE PINCH BROTHERS (also sisters). The last of these films, entitled "THE BAWDY HOUSE", was so salacious that some consider it singlehandedly responsible for the institution of the Motion Picture Production Code. As described in the original press materials: "THE PINCH BROTHERS (also sisters) are hired to save an ailing legit theater, which they accomplish by converting it into a BAWDY HOUSE, complete with ribald comedy, risque magic, and of course, burlesque, burlesque, burlesque! But on opening night, everything goes wrong -- buttons keep popping, pants keep dropping, and the schtick keeps getting schtickier. Can Nasto (NASTY CANASTA), Porko (JONNY PORKPIE), and their siblings Basto, Cadabro, Drunko, Gigo, Li'l Brooko, Litto, Naughtio, Neilo, Peeko, Rubo, Rayo, and Tiggo, get through the show with their clothes intact? No, they cannot." THE PINCH BROTHERS in "THE BAWDY HOUSE" was long thought to be lost, every copy of the film destroyed by the newly-formed MPAA when the Brothers (also sisters) were permanently banned from Hollywood. But film buffs rejoiced last year when the original script was discovered in a pile of underwear, allowing Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious to produce a live stage version of the cinematic classic that put the slap & tickle in slapstick and the double-entendre in double-takes. Pinchbottom's biggest hit of 2007, THE PINCH BROTHERS in "THE BAWDY HOUSE" returns to launch the 2008 season on January 18 & 19 at 10pm. Collective:Unconscious presents Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious Friday January 18 & Saturday January 19 at 10pm THE PINCH BROTHERS in "THE BAWDY HOUSE" Collective:Unconscious, 279 Church Street, TriBeCa Admission: $15 | Tickets available at www.pinchbottom.com/tickets | Beer & Wine Bar | Hosted by NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE starring ALBERT CADABRA, ANITA COOKIE, BASTARD KEITH, GIGI LA FEMME, LITTLE BROOKLYN, LUKKI, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, PRECIOUS LITTLE, RUBY VALENTINE, SCOTT RAYOW, TIGGER with a special appearance by CLAMS CASINO & NEIL O'FORTUNE ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE "BEST BURLESQUE in NY" - New York Magazine's Best of New York 2007 "MOST INNOVATIVE" - Burlesque Hall of Fame Exotic World Pageant 2007 "THE BEST BURLESQUE SHOW IN TOWN" - The Village Voice Explore the inner mind of burlesque with 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious.' 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. 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 more
