Can I make a living being a male stripper?

Male strippers started to become acceptable in the UK in the late seventies and although there is a reasonable demand for the services of male strippers this is not the same sort of demand as for their female counterparts in the UK. The real market to earn money as a male stripper is in the USA where demand is exactly the same irrespective of sex.

Again, unlike in the US there are virtually no male table dancing clubs so if you want to earn money doing this you will need to relocate! In America you can expect to make $10 to $20 a dance .(usually 1 to 2 songs long) and good tips, on the other hand if you decide to work in a male stripper table dancing club in England then you can expect to make zero!. It has been tried before by various bars/strip clubs in England, the most famous of them being Stringfellows and, although it ran for a few years, unfortunately it never really took off. There are a couple of male table dancing clubs in England but unfortunately the guys don’t make any real money,

Frankly none of the top male strippers are involved in any significant way with these clubs. This is partly because the English are not known as generous tippers which is where the money is earned by female strippers in such clubs. Also there is no tradition of English women showing an interest in such club despite their huge appeal to American women.

Don’t worry though it is not all gloom and doom! I have been through all the ups and downs of being a male stripper and now make a good living doing so without ever leaving the UK. My main source of income which is standard for all male strippers in the UK is the stripogram. Strippergrams are private strip acts at private venues normally to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, office leaving dos, hen parties etc. You are expected to turn up normally in a costume of the customer’s choice and perform a routine which should last between 10 and 15 minutes. Your fee will be paid in cash.

Sometimes a male strippergram will be booked for a Ladies Night either on their own or along with other male strippers. This may entail doing one or more routines and may be more lucrative as you can charge more for this. As with the strippergram you can rely upon being paid in cash on the night.

So how do you go about getting work if you are just starting out. Most male strippers work through agencies. A lot of work is one off and the possibility of establishing a regular client database for an individual act is almost impossible. With all agency work, it is vitally important to check out potential agents. This can be most easily done on line. Before you accept work from any agency check out their fees. Some of the less scrupulous ones can charge up to 50% leaving you with £40.00 or £50.00. Through any reputable agency such as Danny Valentino Strippers Newcastle you will receive around £70.00 to £100.00 per strippergram.

The most important thing is to be realistic. It takes time and hard work to become established. Allow anything up to a year but remember whether you want to do this part time or full time you can earn anything from £100.00 to £1000.00 a week. You’ll never be a millionaire but it is a fun way to earn a good living.
