New York, NY- It was an opening night to remember and we had the pleasure to sit amongst a few celebrities joining the evening’s debauchery. The crowd grew loud when the night opened with Steve Savage coming onto the stage. (played by Steve Stanulis) Savage leading in with his own unique introduction, he then hands off the torch to his friends and cast mates. We proceed to meet Black Mamba (Mike Turner) and Brock “The Cock” Hammer (Billy Walsh). Both passing off for what could have been real male strippers, they flaunt their muscular bodies as if you were sitting front row at a Chippendale’s. The format was similar to Vagina Monologues, but more visually believable and much more fast paced. This was entertainment start to finish. What we took home the most from the show was the performance and witty comedy, but also how the energy in the room was real and the guys on stage fed from the crowds energy and applaud. This is definitely one male “strip club” that every bachelorette (which we saw many of) should look into. Probably less invasive than the real thing and not nearly as uncomfortable. It was a great night, the acting was top tier and the production a success. As a male viewer going to this, I had a great time and was not uncomfortable, however it might make a even the most manly man blush just a little.
