Pinchbottom Burlesque never fails to entertain and amaze me. The show last night was Balls!, a presentation of sports-themed burlesque. I think this was one of the most enjoyable burlesque events I have ever been to. Sharon, Jeremy and I laughed, cheered, heckled, snorted and applauded our way through the entire show. The comedy, which was smart and poignant, was provided by Bastard Keith, Naughtia Nice, Johnny Porkpie, Scott Rayow and Anita Cookie. The nudity, which was perfectly on topic for a sports-themed show, was provided by Anita Cookie, Clams Casino, Gigi La Femme, Tigger!, Little Brooklyn, Harvest Moon, Julie Atlas Muz and Nasty Canasta.

There is so much that I could write about this show because it was such a wonderful production and all of the performers and acts were so incredible. In the interest of saving my eyes from starting to glaze over because I have sat in front of my computer for far too long this morning, I will give out an MVP award. Like I said, although everything about Balls! was thoroughly provocative, smart, and pleasurable, Tigger!'s performance was absolutely unbelievable. Tigger! is a staple of the burlesque scene and has definitely proven himself as the King of Boylesque in New York. He was fantastic last night and I am calling him MVP of the show. Go team Pinchbottom!
