Welcome to Jo & Jonny's
Parlour Peignoir
, a titillating new burlesque talk show where the conversation is as tantalizing as the performances.
Jo Weldon, headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, and Jonny Porkpie, purveyor of scripted striptease entertainments, invite you to step into their parlour for an evening of burlesque--in flavors ranging from glamorous to unhinged--and other live entertainments.
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!
"Every show 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 the extra titillation of conversation."
