  • 7PM DINNER SHOW - Filthy Lucre Burlesque Club

    US$24.00 - US$38.00 per person

    Prepaid

    4 Dec 2024 - 22 Dec 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.

    Met friends in the city for brunch and this far exceeded our expectations on every level! The brunch was delicious, the endless mimosas truly endless, and the performers were a perfect combination of stand up comedy, broadway and the best drag show in NYC! Please go to the Sunday brunch and tip these girl generously! And don’t forget to #spreadlove!

    We went to Lips for their December Christmas Broadway Brunch, and it was an absolutely fantastic time! Every visit to Lips is a celebration, but this one was extra special as we brought my 81-year-old mother for her birthday, as well as my son and his boyfriend. The talent and energy of the performers are always incredible, and they never fail to get the crowd engaged and excited. Lips is truly a place where everyone—from 15 to 80—can feel included and have a blast. The atmosphere is unmatched, filled with laughter, joy, and fun. What makes Lips stand out even more is the warmth and kindness of everyone who works there. From the busboys to the floor captains, every single person is welcoming and attentive. A huge shoutout to Ginger Snaps and Shiny Penny, who went above and beyond to make my mom feel special on her birthday. They even assisted her when she needed help moving around, which was so thoughtful and kind. The Christmas Broadway Brunch was nothing short of magical. The festive performances, vibrant atmosphere, and attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience for everyone in our group. My son and his boyfriend had a fantastic time too—it’s truly a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can feel at home. If you’re looking for a unique, inclusive, and joyous experience, Lips is the place to go. We’ve been here many times, and every visit somehow gets better and better. Highly recommended for any celebration—or just a fun day out! We can’t wait to come back! 💖

    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! 🤩

    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.

    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.
