Atmosphere and Lighting

Dressing Room for the Performer

• [ ] A separate room or corner available for changing clothes
• [ ] Mirror and good lighting in the dressing area
• [ ] Hook or chair to place clothing on
• [ ] Access to a nearby restroom

Environment and Privacy

• [ ] Unwanted attendees have been warned or excluded

Additional Tips

Temperature: Ensure a pleasant room temperature—a warm space works better than a cold hall, especially for the performer.

Timing and Setup: Plan to have the space ready at least 30 minutes before the show. This gives the performer time to arrive, prepare, and survey the space.

Safety First: Remove fragile or valuable items from the immediate vicinity of the performance area. For more useful tips and advice on what to avoid, read our guide on common mistakes with strip acts.

What is the minimum space required for a strip act?

For a solo act, you need a minimum of 3x3 meters of clear floor space. For a duo act, 4x4 meters is recommended. The more space, the more impressive the show.

Do I need to arrange the music myself?

That depends on the agreement with the performer. Some strippers bring their own music; others expect you to arrange a sound system. This is discussed during booking.

What should I do if the space is too small?

Contact Stripspot. We are happy to think along with you for a suitable solution, such as a different location or an adapted act that better suits the space.

Am I allowed to film the strip act?

This varies per performer and per booking. Always ask in advance. In some cases, limited filming for personal use is allowed, but never without permission.
