Pinchbottom Burlesque - View this location on map In its most classic sense, burlesque should incorporate three elements: striptease, dancing, and ribald comedy. Of the many acts that grace New York stages right now  from the deliciously twisted and avant-garde to one-girl-after-another revues Pinchbottom Burlesque follows the model to a note. It s sexy, campy fun with just an insinuation of nudity (thanks, in part, to creative costuming). But this is hardly the same old song and fan dance. Each month, co-hosts Jonny Porkpie and Nasty Canasta script a new show featuring many of the city s top performers, whose betasseled numbers leave enough to the imagination to make for an uproarious evening. Tickets costs $15; beer are wine are sold inside. NY Magazine 279 Church St., New York, New York Nightlife
