Porkpie & DeBris present FLAPDOODLE!

  • "...their comedy as a pair is reinforced by chemistry. Neither is the “straight man” in any sense of the word per se, although Jonny does take the Abbott part in a transplanted version of Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s On First” routine, which they perform in its entirety without skipping a beat or missing a laugh. They also did the old burlesque “Niagara Falls” routine, and sang a spoof-song called “Killing Time” to the tune of “Make ‘Em Laugh”. Above all, the duo were palpably connected by a common drive to bring the wakka-wakka."

  • "You didn’t need to be a fan of Abbott & Costello, or even know of the legendary comedy team, to laugh at this rekindling of this classic routine. DeBris (known around VegasVille as the comic actress <name redacted>) and Porkpie (the self-appointed Mayor of Burlesque, who never terms out) kept the action moving during Saturday night’s Miss Exotic World competition at Orleans Showroom."

  • "There was one other BIG WIN of the night: the adaptation of the classic Abbott and Costello routine, “Who’s on First,” re-written by Jonny Porkpie and performed—to perfection—by Porkpie and Blanche Debris, was knock-down drag-out brilliant. This throwback act, done without nostalgia, with Blanche as the hysterical moron and Jonny as the cool-as-cucumber-vodka straight man, was sheer comic genius. I love these two hosting together; they keep getting better every year... I’d like to see this again and I hope someone at some festival somewhere has the sense to book it—it’s the best comedic retro-vaudeville act we’ve seen in forevs."

Back together in Vegas 10/27/25!

What do you get when you cross two neo-vaudevillians—who have been infusing classic comedy with contemporary attitude since 2014—with seductive superstars performing their most sidesplitting stripteases? A night of hilarious sexiness (and sexy hilarity) that could only be called FLAPDOODLE!

11 Years Ago, two burlesque emcees took the stage together for the first time at The Burlesque Hall of Fame Reunion: Blanche DeBris , "American treasure, always high class," and Jonny Porkpie , the burlesque mayor of New York City, a Manhattanite by birth. They have been performing together for a decade, but haven't been seen together in Las Vegas since 2023… Until now.

On October 27, 2025, the direputable duo returns to Las Vegas for the FLAPDOODLE! Halloween Edition!
