Jonny Porkpie is a New York City-based writer, director, and performer in neo-burlesque. So called for his pork pie hat, Jonny Porkpie creates and hosts scripted theme-based burlesque shows as part of his production company, Pinchbottom^[1], as well as solo productions under the title "Jonny Porkpie's Bad Ideas"^[2]. His work has been touted in New York Magazine^[3] as the "best burlesque" in the city. He has of late been highlighted as a pivotal player in New York City's burlesque renaissance in media covering the phenomenon. Porkpie's claim that he is the Burlesque Mayor of New York City gains has recently been validated by the press.

Porkpie is married to Nasty Canasta, a fixture in the City's burlesque circuit. He was born in New York City^[4], is an Ivy League graduate with a degree in Visual Art^[5] who is of Dutch/Jewish ancestry, and is a member of an old theatrical family.

He is the author of "The Corpse Wore Pasties", a burlesque murder mystery which will be released by Hard Case Crime in December 2009.

On August 3, 2009, he announced his candidacy for "actual" mayor of New York City^[6], targeting "The Naked Cowboy" as his main opponent.^[7]
