A male stripper earns up to £1,000-a-night working as a ‘real life Magic Mike’, by peeling off for pensioners and even dressing as Harry Potter. Butlers with Bums boss Dan Harley quit banking to dropping his pants off for a living – and the businessman has never looked back.
He’s revealed stripping is so empowering the dancers “feel like superstars” at work – and that they can potentially earn as much in one night as they do in a fortnight with their day jobs. And ahead of the release of the latest Magic Mike movie, Dan said the series has been a shot in the arm for the industry since the original flick was released in 2012.
“Business has really picked up, and in about nine out of 10 bookings, customers ask if there’s a Channing Tatum lookalike available,” said Brighton-based Dan. “But we get all sorts of other crazy requests. It used to be firemen, but these days, one of the most common requests is that the stripper dresses up as Harry Potter.
