New York's 'Best Story Hour' (The Village Voice Best of NY 2010) - returns from an extra-long summer break for an extra-hot winter treat: their second annual reading of Charles Dickens' holiday classic A Christmas Carol.

Brilliant. Amazing. Award-winning. World-renowned. These are just a few of the superlatives that describe the burlesque stars of New York City. But have you ever wondered what insanity lies beneath all that talent, all that sexiness, all those beautiful outfits, all those clever concepts?
