Spiegeltent
18 October 2008, 2200
With cleverly sculpted witticisms, humorously crafted poetry and boobs, Pinchbottom presented Pretencion at Spiegeltent, one of the structures that makes up Spiegelworld at South Street Seaport. Spiegelworld is responsible for the critically acclaimed Absinthe and Desir, two burlesque-inspired shows of acrobatics and contortion that are awe-inspiring, erotic and breathtakingly beautiful. Spiegeltent is a wooden-walled tent-topped venue that seats around 300 people and is meant to evoke feelings of seeing a show in France in the early part of the 20th century.
With a bevy of beauties and talented gentlemen, Pinchbottom seduced the audience through the imaginary world of Pretencion where the performers rediscovered their lost sense of pretentiousness. All of the performances were perfectly polished and ready to please. The line-up included our hosts, Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie, joined by Tigger!, Delirium Tremens, Dirty Martini, GiGi LaFemme, Little Brooklyn, Naughtia Nice and Bastard Keith. Pinchbottom's next show, You Only Pinch Twice, is back by popular demand. The show, a parody of James Bond themed burlesque acts, is showing on November 22nd at The Zipper Factory Theatre.
100 in 6 budget: $1315
