Bastardpiece Theater

Tuesday, December 27 @ 8:00pm
'Tis the season for nudity, drinking and terrible, terrible movies. Bastard Keith and Madame Rosebud invite you to a very special holiday edition of Bastardpiece Theatre! With burlesque assistance from NYC greats Bea B. Heart, Minnie Tonka and Peekaboo Pointe, and guest commentary by our secret Santa Albert Cadabra, Rosebud and Keith will skewer a parade of Yuletide B pictures. As if this wasn't enough, there will be DVD giveaways, drinking games and marathon go-go. Sure, you could just go to the NORMAL movies, but we guarantee: The War Horse will only be half as funny as Bastardpiece Theatre .

BASTARD KEITH is a burlesque MC, singer, writer and gadabout. With his partner Madame Rosebud he founded The Sophisticates, the only burlesque show to be thrown out of the Plaza Hotel for indecency. He hosted Revealed Burlesque for its entire run, and MCs frequently for The Floating Kabarette at Galapagos Arts Space, The Rhinestone Follies, Pink Room Burlesque, D20 Burlesque, The Slipper Room, Wasabassco Burlesque, Burlesque Nouveau, Le Scandal Cabaret, and many others.

MADAME ROSEBUD is Burlesque's Girl Who Fell to Earth and a co-producer with The Sophisticates. After an early career in fine art and many years of expensive and prestigious dance/acting/vocal/fine art training Rosebud opted for debauchery and now funnels all her creativity into Burlesque. Rosebud's solo career has encompassed performances from coast to coast and overseas, with stops at the London Burlesque Festival, the New York Burlesque Festival, and competing at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend.

Hotsy Totsy Burlesque

Wednesday, December 28 @ 8:00pm
Joe the Shark and Cherry Pitz present New York’s only burlesque soap opera, featuring the finest burlesque and sideshow performers in NY! Chills, thrills, mellow-drama, ridiculous storylines and flying underpants. “...a much-too-brief, pan-sexual, post-feminist party. - Nytheater.com” - **** Time Out NY

	JOE THE SHARK In addition to co-writing and co-producing HOTSY TOTSY BURLESQUE, Joe the Shark has worked with the best in the New York burlesque community, including Kitty Nights, Sugar Shack, Rosie Red Burly-q and Princess Sunshine’s Hard Candy Burlesque & Wham Bam Slam Variety Hour. He is also the co-producer of Brooklyn’s longest running burlesque show, Original Cyn Burlesque at the Lucky 13 Saloon. After the success of the Sharkbite Sideshow at the Quidditch World Cup V on Randall’s Island this year, he is opening up a new show at R Bar called the Sharkbite Sideshow, featuring both burlesque and sideshow acts. In what seems like a past life, Joe the Shark (aka Joseph Naftali) founded Continüm Comics in 1987 and was the writer of "The Dark" comic book series. Other comic book credits include working with Gene Simmons on the "KISS 4K" comic book line for Platinum Studios. Mr. Naftali is also the author of numerous published short stories. http://www.facebook.com/JoetheShark

	GAL FRIDAY "After years of desk jockeying for "the man", this Gal Friday decided to take her talents and apply them to the stage. The lady that once typed 70 words a minute, equipped with a clever quip playing on her lip, is now one of New York City's top Burly-Q bombshells. Ms. Friday has come along way since her debut: She had the honor of performing at Miss Exotic World for the title of 'Best Debut' and is also extremely proud to have held the title of 'Miss Coney Island 2009.' She loves teaching for the New York School of Burlesque, introducing new students to the delightful world of striptease!! Truly, hiding a gal like this behind a desk would be a crime!
	JENNY C’EST QUOI Jenny C’est Quoi is a founding member of Storybook Burlesque. Hailing from below the Mason-Dixon, she has since performed throughout New York City and beyond. With a five-year improv comedy background and array of absurdist acts, Jenny lives up to her monicker, The Sexy Non Sequitur of Burlesque! http://www.jennycestquoi.com/
