Before James T. Kirk was the Captain of the Enterprise, there was Captain Christopher Pike... but that was before the debilitating accident that left him unable to speak or move. Now, Captain Pike lives on the planet of Talos IV (see The Menagerie - Classic Trek Season 1 Episodes 11 & 12) and the Talosians are able to alter human brain waves, allowing Captain Pike to live out the rest of his life in a virtual fantasy land of his own design. The Talosions are also obsessed with sex (watch the episode and see for yourself); with this in mind, every month Captain Pike creates an imaginary burlesque show for the Talosians, as a way of saying thank you. But today, something has gone horribly wrong, someone who he has not imagined has infiltrated the show, her name is Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. She has come to rescue Captain Pike from his life of fantasies and offer him a real woman's love. The question is, does he want it?
Featuring your host Brief Sweat as Captain Pike with his fantasy dream co-host Cherry Pitz.
With performances by: Candy Apples, the aerial duo Leo Teo, cosplayer Minnie D'Moocher, Mary Cyn, Apathy Angel and more!
Following on the footsteps of Hotsy Totsy Burlesque's successful The Big Lebowski, Mad Men, Doctor Who and Star Wars 1978 Holiday Special tribute shows, Cherry Pitz and Joe the Shark present a new burlesque tribute to Gene Rodenberry's Star Trek! With five different TV series, countless books, comic books and a movie franchise, Star Trek is one of the most loved science fiction franchises in the world. A burlesque tribute is something we know that James T. Kirk would approve of, meanwhile D
R. McCoy (Bones) would say "Damn it Jim, I am a doctor not an Ecdysiast!" and Spook would simply declare it "Fascinating."
Hotsy Totsy Burlesque is New York's only episodic, monthly burlesque show featuring a different script each month and a rotating cast. Hotsy Totsy is a high camp soap opera featuring some of the best burlesque talent New York has to offer.
Once a month you are invited to the basement of The Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women. The residents of the home need money to keep their hotel open and to buy G-strings and glitter. Sadly, the shows have had their technical difficulties and in the past as they've had to combat zombies, gangsters, human-animal hybrids, televangelists and snake oil salesmen. The performers promise you beautiful, clothing-averse women, lots of laughs, spinning tassels, and flying underpants. So join us for Hotsy Totsy Burlesque at The Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women where the motto is "We've fallen, we can't get up, and we like it that way!"
Upcoming Tribute Themes:
September: Doctor Who
October: Stephen King
