Pinchbottom Burlesque
Pinchbottom is where burlesque meets theater, buys it a drink, and takes it to bed. It is both the name of a production company which produces themed & scripted burlesque shows in New York City, and the title under which its two creators -- Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie -- perform as a duet. Each Pinchbottom show 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. And a script.
