Jo Weldon, headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, and Jonny Porkpie, purveyor of scripted striptease entertainments, invite you to JO & JONNY'S PARLOUR PEIGNOIR. Step into their parlour for an evening of burlesque--in flavors ranging from glamorous to unhinged--and other live entertainments.
"Every performance of JO & JONNY'S PARLOUR PEIGNOIR will be concocted using a slightly different recipe," explains Weldon. "A generous serving of burlesque is always our base ingredient, of course, but the mix might also include live music, literary readings, performance art, variety, illustrated talks, prestidigitation, humor, short films, dance—"
"—basically, anything we're excited to share with an audience," added Porkpie. "And in addition to the performances, we’ll offer a extra titillation..."
After unveiling their prodigious talents, guests in the Parlour will don decadent dressing gowns for an intimate tête-à-tête with their hosts, in which they might reveal more than they bargained for... and for a burlesque performer, that's saying something!
Top it all off with experiments, sneak previews, and rarely-seen acts from Jo and Jonny themselves, and you have an evening of entertainment unlike any other in New York.
Join JO & JONNY'S PARLOUR PEIGNOIR, a titillating new burlesque talk show where the conversation is as tantalizing as the performances. The April 27 premiere of this new performance series will feature burlesque by Cashlee Banks and Miss AuroraBoobRealis, Peekaboo Pointe with short films, stop motion burlesque, a Marx Brothers tribute duet with Jonny, Jo’s School of Burlesque Striptease Show&Tell, beatboxer AirLoom Beats, magician Patrick Davis, Magician and more.
