SPIEGELWORLD WELCOMES PINCHBOTTOM "Best Burlesque" gets all cirque-y in a Spiegelworld premiere PRETENÇIÓN un cirque de burlesque, un burlesque de cirque Saturday, September 13 & Saturday, October 18 @ 10pm Spiegelworld @ Fulton Fish Market South Street Seaport, Pier 17, under the Brooklyn Bridge Admission: $20 | Ticketing services provided by Ticket Central, 212-279-4200, Noon to 8pm Daily. Book online at www.spiegelworld.com "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." SPIEGELWORLD, the leader in antique-tent-based entertainment in NYC and beyond, is pleased to announce the addition of the "Best Burlesque" in New York (New York Magazine) to its fall roster of shows, with a brand-new world-premiere event developed by Pinchbottom especially for the venue. Joining the ranks of Spiegelworld hits like "Absinthe", "La Vie", and "Desir" comes Pinchbottom's "PRETENÇIÓN" -- un cirque de burlesque, un burlesque de cirque. "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." PRETENÇIÓN takes cirque where only Pinchbottom can take it; past the bounds of good taste and into the realm of hilarious self-parody. Be dazzled as burlesque performers are transformed into erotic acrobats, self-hating clowns, impossibly accented ringmasters, incomprehensible lessons in morality, oblique songsmiths, spanking machines, and (of course) bunnies. "We're couldn't be more thrilled that Spiegelworld invited us to be a part of their September and October lineup," said producer Jonny Porkpie, "And we hope that this show will honor both their history and the history of these wonderful Spiegeltents, while at the same time mocking it mercilessly." With an all-star lineup featuring a tent full of award-winning burlesque performers, PRETENÇIÓN promises to be a high-falootin' treat for cirque-lovers and haters alike. Starring Nasty Canasta & Jonny Porkpie, plus Bastard Keith, Naughtia Nice, and Tigger!, with special guest stars 9/13: Amber Ray & Muffinhead, Clams Casino, Creamy Stevens, Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey and 10/18: Delirium Tremens, Dirty Martini, GiGi La Femme, Little Brooklyn "Step into the world of PRETENÇIÓN -- but be careful not to trip on the magic."

Each monthly journey 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. 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious' is where burlesque meets downtown theater, buys it a drink and takes it to bed. The show is hosted by NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE, who should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontannes of the New York Burlesque scene, although they do perform together with alarming frequency.

Where else can you hoot, whistle, and bust a gut laughing?" -NY Theatre.com; "Hilarious burlesque" -Next Magazine; "Your perverted genre fantasies have come shimmying to life" -Time Out New York more
