If you're planning a bachelorette party, birthday, or ladies night in California, one of the first questions you'll ask is: how much does a male stripper cost? The honest answer is that it depends on a handful of factors — number of dancers, show length, travel distance, date, and any add-ons. This 2026 guide breaks down every pricing tier, explains what affects the price, and helps you budget accurately so there are no surprises.

Solo Male Stripper ($200)
The solo male stripper package is our most popular option for bachelorette parties with 6–15 guests. You get one professional dancer for a full themed show — usually 20–30 minutes of choreographed performance including the costume reveal, crowd interaction, lap dance for the bride, photos, and a memorable finale.
What's Included
- One dancer with a chosen costume theme
- Full choreographed show with professional music
- Crowd interaction and lap dance for the guest of honor
- Photos with the group
Best for: intimate house parties, hotel suites, and Airbnb rentals across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the rest of SoCal.
Duo Show ($375)
Two dancers means double the energy. The duo package is perfect for groups of 10–25 and unlocks tandem choreography, costume contrasts (for example, fireman + cop), and back-to-back lap dances. Most bachelorette parties that want something "bigger than the basic" choose this tier.
Why People Love It
- Two contrasting costume themes
- Dynamic group choreography
- More photo opportunities for the whole squad
Trio Show ($550)
Three dancers is full Magic-Mike-at-home energy. This is the package you want if you're throwing a birthday milestone, a 20+ person bachelorette, or a divorce party where you really want the room to lose its mind. Trios perform group choreography, individual solos, and take turns interacting with guests.
Shirtless Bartender ($150/hr)
Not everyone wants a full strip show — sometimes you just want gorgeous eye candy pouring drinks for a few hours. Our shirtless bartenders are professional mixologists who arrive in themed attire (bow tie, shorts, or your requested look), serve your cocktails, take photos with guests, and keep the vibe flirty without a full performance.
Factors That Affect Male Stripper Pricing
1. Travel Distance
Shows within Los Angeles, Orange County, and other core SoCal areas are priced at the standard rate. Long drives to Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, or remote venues may include a small travel fee.
2. Date & Time
Friday and Saturday nights are prime time. Major holidays (New Year's Eve, Halloween, Valentine's weekend) book up months in advance and may carry a premium. Weekday shows often come in slightly cheaper.
3. Show Length
Standard shows run 20–30 minutes. Extended performances, VIP lap-dance packages, or back-to-back two-show bookings are quoted individually.
4. Costume Theme
Most themes — fireman, cop, cowboy, construction worker, doctor — are included at no extra cost. Very specific custom themes may add a small styling fee. See our costume themes guide.
5. Number of Dancers
Each additional dancer roughly adds $150–$200 to the base price. Bundled duo and trio rates are better than booking solos separately.
Tipping a Male Stripper
Tipping is expected and a huge part of the experience. A well-tipped dancer gives more energy, more interaction, and a better show for everyone. Here's a solid rule of thumb:
- $20–$40 per guest in cash, in small bills ($1s, $5s, $10s)
- Have singles ready for crowd tipping during the performance
- Bigger bills for the bride's lap dance moment
- Always tip in cash — no Venmo during the show
Popular Add-Ons
- Extra dancer: add a second or third performer to any package
- Extended show: 45–60 minute performances
- Custom themes: match your party decor (e.g., all-white, all-black, Vegas)
- Photos & video package: professional memory-capture of the show
- Bartender + dancer combo: drinks first, show later
How to Save Money Without Sacrificing Quality
- Book a weekday or Sunday evening
- Choose the solo package and pool guest tips for an epic tip pile
- Book early (3–6 weeks out) to lock in base rates
- Host at home or an Airbnb instead of a club with a cover charge
- Skip venue upgrades — our dancers bring their own music and costumes
