The Corpse Wore Pasties
Sometimes there's no difference between the Naked and the Dead
Usually, when you call a burlesque act a "show stopper," you don’t mean it quite so literally. But this time, that’s just what happened: The show stopped dead, and so did the girl. And as I looked at her nearly naked and completely lifeless body and the bottle of poison in her hand with my fingerprints all over it, I thought to myself: Porkpie, you’re in for it this time...
By the co-creator and master of ceremonies of New York's celebrated Pinchbottom burlesque, called "the best burlesque show in town" by the Village Voice and named "Best of New York" by New York magazine.
