"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 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 (an unlicensed parody of) James Bond is back... and this time, he has a "License to Pinch" in the undercover extravaganza YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE.

Pinchbottom is back in action, and its patented mix of burlesque and theater is taking over Off-Broadway for the first time ever, taking its most-requested show to one of New York's most exciting venues. "We're thrilled to have Pinchbottom bring 'You Only Pinch Twice' to the Zipper Factory Theater," said David Conrad Brouillard, Producing Director of the venue. "As the most theatrical burlesque company in the city, Pinchbottom was a natural choice for the Zipper. Who knows?" He added, mysteriously, "this could be the start of beautiful friendship."

"We're very pleased to be at the Zipper, but we're downright thrilled that the new Bond movie is named Quantum of Solace," said Producer Nasty Canasta. "Because that makes You Only Pinch Twice not the stupidest name attached to a spy outing this November."

Hosted by Nasty Canasta (as "James Bond") and Jonny Porkpie (as her arch-nemesis "Porkfeld"), and featuring a cadre of superspies, undercover agents, and villainous henchgals, YOU ONLY PINCH TWICE presents (an unauthorized parody of) James Bond like you've never seen him before: as a her! In the words of The Village Voice: "Daniel Craig may be a fine James Bond, but we have higher hopes for burlesque cutie Nasty Canasta's portrayal of secret agent 007 in Pinchbottom's perverted spoof You Only Pinch Twice."

On November 22, for one night only, don't miss the sexy spy fun when "Pinchbottom's themed burlesque gets all shaken and stirred with everyone's favorite secret agent." (Time Out New York).

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
