BREAKING NEWS:
Porkpie says "Grab My Junk, Washington DC"
This Friday, America's most touching gameshow comes to Washington, DC for two gigantic shows! At 9:30 and 11:30 on July 30, catch the event that everyone has been filing charges about... GRAB MY JUNK! Watch in awe as your favorite burlesque performers bump and grind, then get to know them even more intimately, learning their deepest, darkest secrets as you compete for the chance to win terrible prizes! Never fear; fabulous prizes also await, but only if you're brave enough to... GRAB MY JUNK.
First, host Jonny Porkpie introduces the celebrity guest performers to an audience full of potential contestants in the best possible way: by bringing them to the stage to present titillating burlesque numbers. Watch carefully as these sexy superstars take off their clothes -- watch even more carefully than usual. Because you might just see something in the striptease that will help you guess the answers to intimate questions about the private lives of these performers. Questions like: "What's the most amazing place you ever had sex?" and "What is your most outrageous unfulfilled sexual fantasy?"
Answer these inappropriate questions correctly, and in the first rounds, you'll win... Junk! Yes, the early prizes you can grab consist of the useless crap that's been lying around host Jonny Porkpie's house, like that book he bought for a class in college that he never even opened, or toys from his childhood, or VHS tapes. In the final showdown, winners can trade this crap for actual prizes... but there's a catch. The real goods are all tucked into your host's pants, and in order to claim the valuables, contestants will have to reach in and GRAB MY JUNK.
"This gameshow recently debuted in my home town of New York to great acclaim," explained Porkpie. "And I'm thrilled the The Palace of Wonders in DC -- one of my favorite venues -- is the next stop on what I hope will become a national tour. I'd like for everyone in the world to have a chance to grab my junk."
In addition to host JONNY PORKPIE (star of internationally renowned Pinchbottom Burlesque), this edition of GRAB MY JUNK features star of the acclaimed "Dangerous Curves Ahead" national burlesque tour ANITA COOKIE, two-time Burlesque Hall of Fame Award Winner CLAMS CASINO, and producer of "Drive Thru Burlesque" SIZZLE DIZZLE.
It's a game where the stakes are low and the standards are too. Do you have what it takes to... GRAB MY JUNK?
