Strip show is generally a form of dance where the artist, known as ?the stripper? slowly undresses to music. It is type of erotic entertainment for adults. Stripteases are now performed especially in the UK pubs and mostly in strip clubs. There are also many music halls and theatres which are being used as venues. There is a "teasing" part in the show which involves the sluggishness of getting undressed, while the audience is always excited to see more nudity. Until the 1970s, strip shows were invariably performed by females, performing to male audiences. Since then, male strippers, performing to female audiences, have also become common.



Every strip club in the UK, particularly in Newcastle, have a strip dancing forum for people who are interested in table dancing, pole dancing, and lap dancing. An interesting custom in these pubs is that the strippers walk round and collect money from the customers in a beer jug before each individual performance. Private dances of a more raunchy nature are sometimes available in a separate area of the pub.

Now a day most of the strippers go for a "fully nudity", but in the late 1970s due to legal and cultural prohibitions and other aesthetic considerations, in strip shows not every piece of clothing has always been removed.

The clubs have a large stage where the girls perform full strip shows regularly in return for payments in the form of tipping pounds. The tipping is compulsory and as a result stage shows here are far superior to those found in 95% of UK clubs. The stage is large and often features several girls at once. Private dances are also available in separate booths but it is the regular high quality stage shows that give the club an atmosphere all of its own. Most strip clubs are usually found to be big; a good number serves draft beer at pub prices, and makes considerable effort to keep itself busy including student nights and catering for private parties. The clubs unusually regularly features top entertainment including feature dancers and more conventional entertainers. Strip clubs are thought to be more boring than other forms of striptease, be?cause dancers have a set schedule.

In some strip shows in Newcastle, customers sometimes make physical contact with the Newcastle male strippers during a routine called a "table dance," although ordi?nances vary on how much contact is allowed. In settings where dancers are totally nude and no alcohol is served, customers are not permitted to touch dancers except to tip them on stage. If the customer is interested in more, dancers can conduct dances for them behind private booths.

Strip shows in Newcastle have gained so much popularity that there have been a couple of new clubs added to the listings at UK Strip Clubs. Some of these are:
