    (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.

    The energy, the ambience, and the vibe is LIT and LIVELY and LIPS. Everyone in there is funny, gorgeous and welcoming. The hospitality is beyond par and the show, oh the show..it just blew me away! If you’re looking for a unique, fun, and non-basic brunch experience with good food and great entertainment then this is the place for you and your friends! Bring lots of cash to support these beauties. They deserve every penny and more!

    The chicken and waffles was good. Chicken was seasoned well but thought the steak and eggs was great, which my husband had. My family and I went for brunch for my mother's birthday and we all had a wonderful and memorable time! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was attentive and great.
