    $24.00 - $38.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Dec 4, 2024 - Dec 22, 2024
    (A TAKEOVER OF THE SHOWPALACE - THIS IS A BURLESQUE SHOW - NOT A DRAG SHOW) Charles Dickens immortal classic drops its knickers and gets down to business in FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol. Welcome to The Filthy Lucre, where the cover charge is exorbitant, the drinks are watered down, and management steals the performers' tips. What sort of miser would would run a Club like this? Who else but Scrooge? A stripteasing twist on Dickens' classic holiday tale, when the scantily-clad spirit of her former business partner returns from the grave, the "nudest Scrooge in history" and goes on a tassel-twirling journey with the Ghosts of Burlesque Past, Present, and Future. You know the story, but never seen it quite like this.

    Lots of fun! The show was Christmas themed, and all of the holiday decor made it extra festive.

    We had a great time at Lips. Tiffany was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Ginger Snap puts on an incredibly entertaining show. January has great dance and acrobatic skills. I wish I could recall everyone’s names because they each had specific talents I could call out here! Everyone is top notch! Get your reservations and enjoy the show and ambience.

    I celebrated my daughter's birthday at Lips NYC, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electric and so much fun. The drag queens were absolutely hilarious and kept us laughing all afternoon. They really made the day special for my daughter, and all others celebrating their birthdays! The food was surprisingly good, too – much better than I was expecting for a place known for its entertainment. The service was also fantastic, with the staff making sure we had everything we needed throughout the show. This is hands down one of the best birthday spots in NYC! It’s perfect for a celebration, and I can’t recommend it enough. We’ll definitely be back for another fabulous brunch. We saw Ginger Snap for the Sunday Broadway Brunch and she was absolutely amazing! 🤩

    Friends came into town for their birthdays and I brought them to Lips for the Sunday brunch show. We had a lot of fun! The service was good, food okay (although I was charged extra for my meal which I would think if it's on the, very limited choice, brunch menu, the price would be the same as the other selections?!) We were also unaware that there would be a $15 additional charge for birthday celebrations. It would have been nice to have known ahead of time. But, other than those two issues (for me). my friends had a wonderful time and I would/will more friends here again, especially now that I am aware of the extra costs.

    The food for the brunch show was delicious, although some of my friends that ordered chicken & waffles stated the waffles were cold, but the chicken was seasoned to perfection. The steak & eggs with homefries was also delicious, & also was seasoned very well.
