            <title>The Last Burlesque Show in the World</title>
            <description><![CDATA[On the precipice of time, the ragged edge of existence itself, one painted gasp before an unceasing void envelops the final fragment of reality: A single beautiful moment remains, forestalling oblivion, in which a forgotten god -- trapped forever in the crumbling stone of a sculptors' misconception -- obviates his own extinction with the only art eternity cannot bear to destroy...<br /><br />

...burlesque.<br /><br />

No, seriously. Artistic striptease confounds oblivion.<br /><br />

Welcome, friends, to THE LAST BURLESQUE SHOW IN THE WORLD, Pinchbottom's first all-new piece of 2010. An epic metaphysical journey through the twisted muscle of the human heart, the jagged crevices of the creative mind, the amorphous discord of the libido, and the insouciant profundity of pants-dropping, THE LAST BURLESQUE SHOW IN THE WORLD stars Pinchbottom co-creator Jonny Porkpie, featuring Clams Casino, Jo Boobs, Legs Malone, Naughtia Nice, and Mat "Sealboy" Fraser, with special guest stars Amber Ray, Gal Friday, Harvest Moon, Julie Atlas Muz, Leroi the Girl Boi, Peekaboo Pointe, Sapphire Jones, Tigger!, Veronica Varlow, and more. It is--more literally than one can possibly convey in the ambiguous tumult of language--the ultimate Pinchbottom show.<br /><br />

Pinchbottom returns to Performance Space 122 as part of the undergroundzero festival, one of the last productions in the space before it closes down. <br /><br />

            <title>FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<i>Marley was nude, to begin with....</i><br> Charles Dickens immortal classic finally drops its knickers and gets down to business. "A Christmas Carol is perhaps my absolute favorite piece of literature," says Pinchbottom co-producer Nasty Canasta, who will play the Scrooge character in the show. "But there has always been one thing missing from the classic tale... and that is, of course, sexy Victorian-era vixens lasciviously removing their knickers."

According to Jonny Porkpie, who plays Marley's Ghost and is adapting the story for the burlesque stage, the Pinchbottom version will not stray far from the original text. "Other than changing the Scrooge character to a woman, his counting house to a strip club, and adding boobs every few minutes"--he said--"the show will be completely faithful to Dickens." 

"I mean, in its own way," Porkpie clarified. "Perhaps it might be more accurate to say that the show and Dickens will have an open relationship."

            <title>LURID PULP!</title>
            <description>On the eve of the publication of Jonny Porkpie&apos;s lurid pulp novel &quot;The Corpse Wore Pasties,&quot; Pinchbottom&apos;s burlesque book party celebration is in full swing... until the show&apos;s performers see the manuscript for the first time and notice distinct similarities between themselves and the characters in the book. Tempers flare, bodices rip, tassels twirl... and Porkpie ends up dead. So co-producer Nasty Canasta dons her detective pasties and attempts to uncover the murderer before the final curtain -- with a little help from you.

Pinchbottom marks the launch of &quot;The Corpse Wore Pasties&quot; (Hard Case Crime, November 24) with a brand-new theatrical event:  LURID PULP!, an interactive-murder-mystery-book-release-party-burlesque-show. New York&apos;s top burlesque stars will quite literally flesh out the characters in &quot;The Corpse Wore Pasties&quot; by recreating the striptease numbers described in Porkpie&apos;s book. Nasty Canasta, Clams Casino, Dirty Martini, GiGi La Femme, Jo Boobs, Madame Rosebud -- as well as the author himself -- will make the words leap off the page, and out of their undergarments. </description>

            <title>A Day On The Boardwalk, A Night At The Sideshow</title>
            <description>When Hugo J. Porkenbush, house doctor to the Coney Island Sideshow, accidentally incapacitates all the performers, he has to find replacement acts -- and fast! So he recruits a pair of Boardwalk grifters (Nasto &amp; Beebo) to shanghai &quot;volunteers&quot; for the show. But when, instead of hapless victims, they abduct a bevy of burlesque performers from the Mermaid Parade, the show goes on... a lot further than anyone expected!</description>

            <title>PRETENÇIÓN: un cirque de burlesque, un burlesque de cirque</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<i>Pretençión</i> 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 <i>Pretençión</i>, 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 <i>Pretençión</i> -- but be careful not to trip on the magic.]]></description>

            <title>DEViLiSH</title>
            <description>In an infernal supper club, a story of seduction and damnation unfolds when the devil takes the form of a burlesque dancer to bargain for the eternal souls of the entire audience.  

Ecdysiastical alchemist Jonny Porkpie calls forth the diabolical Nasty Canasta to seduce guests with all the temptations that the underworld can offer: burlesque beauties bent to a fiendish will; feats of sideshow and variety skill purchased at an unthinkable price; humor with a dark intent. Travel with sirens, freaks, and demons on a burlesque tour of the nether regions. Because when Pinchbottom makes a deal with the devil, it&apos;s going to get hot.</description>

When that ribald civilization fell, the legend of the Boobs sagged with time... until Nastyana Jones --an archeologist specializing in erotic artifacts--finds a pornographic map that will lead her down the glory trail to adventure, and set her against the evil Baron Schweintörte in a race to uncover the gilded bazooms.]]></description>

Burlesque Santa&apos;s sack is full of goodies for all the bad boys and girls. And the best part is... these presents unwrap themselves! 12/28/09 edition stars Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie, with Julie Atlas Muz, Little Brooklyn, Legs Malone, Mat &quot;Sealboy&quot; Fraser, Sapphire Jones.</description>
