Pretençión is the place where Mystery sits at a table with Elegance, and Imagination orders a round of drinks before dinner. It is a world where those drinks are served by a pompous clown. Join Pinchbottom on a sensual quest for Pretençión, an imaginary yet sexy element that turns burlesque performers from "Jerkques" (ordinary people) into self-important "Cirques": infuriatingly magical, unendurably spellbinding artistes who peel away the mundane with every layer of clothing. Step into the world of Pretençión -- but be careful not to trip on the magic.
PREVIOUS SHOW: DEViLiSH
NEXT SHOW: MURDER MOST NAKED (or, the strange affair at Pinchbottom Manor)
PRESS CLIPPINGS

"Those insoucient scamps Jonny Porkpie and Nasty Canasta take their themed burlesque into the lion’s den of high-concept clown shows and stuff those haute-cirque’s pretensions where the soleil don’t shine." more press »
