Ep. 116 - Interview: Al aka "Dakota", 1980s Male Stripper

Author: Danica August 25, 2022 Duration: 1:08:19
Meet Al, a 59 year old originally from Vancouver Island. A little bit about him: He left the island when he was 23 and has been with his husband for 22 years. Al worked at the Number 5 Orange str!p club in Vancouver Canada for 36 years and retired just last week! I met Al through being a dancer at this same club but something I did not know about Al was that from the age of 25-30 he was an exotic dancer! Going by the stage name “Dakota”, Al paid his way through his College education gyrating his way through local clubs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Al is retired now and leaving Vancouver behind for the beautiful Okanagan and will be missed by all! We are so thrilled that we snagged him before he left so that her could share with us (and you) his hilarious tales of being a male ex0tic dancer - from “cüm” shows to breaking boats to stage sets with live tigers !

Hosted by Danica, 50 Plus a Tip is a conversation between two stripper best friends who pull back the curtain on their real lives. This podcast navigates the messy, funny, and often misunderstood world of the adult entertainment industry from the inside. You’ll hear their unfiltered stories about the job’s unique challenges and unexpected triumphs, blending personal anecdotes with broader discussions on society, health, and culture. The tone is candid and frequently comedic, because sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Alongside their own perspectives, Danica and Riley bring in special guests to expand the narrative, offering a platform for diverse voices within their community. Their goal is straightforward: to replace harmful stereotypes with genuine human experience. By sharing the highs and the lows-or as they call them, the (b)lows-they create an intimate space for listeners to understand a profession shrouded in stigma. Tuning into this podcast feels like sitting down for a brutally honest, and often hilarious, chat with friends who have seen it all. It’s about the reality behind the glitter, the economics beyond the stage, and the personal stories that rarely get told in mainstream conversations.
