Can I make a living being a Male stripper

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.

Ever wanted to get paid to take your kit off!

It may be stating the obvious but the first thing you need is to be confident that you look good with and without your clothes. To be a successful stripper a good body and good looks are essential. After all when someone books a singer they expect that they can sing in tune and with a stripper they expect to see someone attractive. All the strippers that are on the books at www.dannyvalentino.com have been selected for their good looks and well toned bodies. If this sounds like you then we would be delighted to hear from you.

So you know you look great but how are you going to convince others. Every professional artiste need to have a set of high quality promotional pictures. To obtain these means some capital outlay. A set of promotional pictures will cost in the region of £200.00. There are many good professional studios that specialize in such promo material so book a session; you will recoup the cost many times over

another tool of the trade that you cannot mange without, is a set of costumes. Ultimately you will probably build up a whole wardrobe but a good starting point is to go with the outfits most popular for male and female strippers. For men firemen, policemen and army officers are all extremely popular and for women they are nurses, maids and policewomen. Like the photographs don’t stint on the quality. Be prepared to spend about £100.00 on each costume. Like the photos you will recoup your costs quickly. All of these costumes can be easily obtained on line.

OK so you have got your costume and your pictures and now you are ready to go out there and wow them. So what you need next is a routine. Whilst you are not auditing for “Strictly” and you really don’t need to be a great dancer, the art to taking your clothes off is to do so to music. Without a good routine you will not be able to provide the Tease element of your strip. You will need routines for Strippergrams which are less complicated and allow the uses of props such as handcuffs for use on your “victim” whereas a male or female party will need a longer choreographed routine

What also helps a stripper is the right music. You will need to have a means of playing music (not all venues will have a PA system) and a selection of tunes suitable for various occasions. The musical set will need to vary in length. A strippergram set will normally be between 12 and 15 minutes whereas a stag or hen night will need to be slightly longer. You should make sure that you have a number of sets suitable for all age groups but, most of all, they should help you in your routine.

So to the final ingredient. To take your clothes off in public requires a special factor –personality. It’s surprising therefore that too many would be strippers don’t let this show when they are performing. More often than not it’s due to nerves or lacks of confidence but you have to let this come through to be the best. Remember you audience wants to be entertained and to put on a show you need to interact with them. So if you think you can deliver all of this then take the first step in your new career by contacting Male strippers Newcastle throughout Newcastle and the uk.
