"After a year of touring and residencies from London to Los Angeles, Peoria to P-Town, and most recently down under in New Zealand, NYC's bravest and bawdiest burlesque duo return with a new full-length show featuring the tricks they've turned on the streets of the entire world!," state press notes.  "Double entendres mix with irreverent circus routines and guilty pop culture pleasures as these saucy sisters fly through their trapeze routines with all the adrenaline and abandon of a rock concert.  They also deconstruct the humor and paradigms of country music while playing matching guitars (and barely sitting on one another's shoulders), all the while re-defining sisterhood for a whole new generation."
