Strippers in the Attic

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a strip club? How it feels for a new girl to audition? Why dancers need pleasers and punters have nicknames? What the difference is between a whale and a captain save-a-ho? London based strippers Buffy and Heaven tell you what strippers really think, having worked together from the East End to Las Vegas. They share riotous stories of friendship, cautionary tales of misbehaviour and accounts of the unexpected from the heart of the VIP room - all delivered with humour and affection. It’s not a job for everyone, but leave your preconceptions at the door. Whatever you think you know about strippers is probably wrong. A podcast for seasoned professionals and strip club virgins alike.

Buffy’s Off to America, Heaven’s Still Alive

We know, we know — we vanished. Like a dancer who went for a cigarette break in 2019 and never returned. But don’t worry, darlings: we’re alive, we’re well, and we’re officially back in the New Year. In today’s mini-ep, Heaven confirms she is very much alive (despite rumours), Buffy packs her bags and flies off to the States for Thanksgiving, and we spiral into ⭐️the realities of solo stripping ⭐️the logistics of a provincial strip-club tour (god help us) ⭐️the ethics and effectiveness ...

SITA vs Hollywood: Getting Strippers Wrong (and terribly right…)

We check in on Heaven’s plastic surgery journey (and trust us, it’s a journey) before despairing at Hollywood’s stripper obsession. We mourn Flashdance’s shamefest fail: ballerina/welder/sensual dancer dating her stalker and dragging her stripper friend out of the club mid-shift. That’s no way to save-a-ho. We struggle with Demi Moore’s ill-advised Striptease although it’s saved, as all things are, by Burt Reynolds. We love the trashy Showgirls for the most unhinged lap dance in history, and ...

All This and Heaven Too

Heaven Can’t Wait

Don’t call it a comeback, though we’ve been away too long. Here’s why. And remember, every now and then, the talk in VIP gets serious. Every now and then we connect. And so it’s time to let you in on something we’ve been dealing with for a while. Heaven’s breasts have had a starring role in pretty much every episode, but breast enlargement can cost more than cash. This is the story of what can go wrong and it’s a quiet word of warning that when it comes to surgery, always read the small print...

Mindgames and money: The Science of Stripping Season

Strippers, drugs & rock n' roll

Yeah, this one comes with a trigger warning. Three trigger warnings, to be precise. But, if you’ve listened to any previous episodes you know the kind of thrills our duo trigger. Let’s just point out that ‘dry humping my ankle’, ‘hairy asshole’, ‘he struggles with his desire to bang me with his friend and love Jesus at the same time’ and a dancing clitoris are not included in the trigger warning. So, you know you have to listen… Oh yes, and Heaven explains how WD40 was her entry drug. Serious...

Be My Stripper Valentine

St Valentine was beaten to death with clubs for trying to convert the emperor so we celebrate his death with flowers and chocolates, obvs. You might not believe it, but a strip club can be very romantic.

Miami Vice - a Stripper Story

Strip clubs in Miami are a little different. Tootsie’s Cabaret is a 74,000 square foot two storey behemoth where Drake likes a shoulder rub.

Models vs strippers

Both parade on a stage wearing very few clothes. Both entertain older men in private rooms. One does so for no money at the instruction of agencies who exploit them. The other controls their earnings and the men they work with keep them safe. Guess which one’s acceptable at dinner parties? Buffy and Heaven try to work out the morality of a society that venerates exploited skinny teenage models and sneers at strippers who earn a decent living and enjoy their body shape. Go figure.
