Hunkomania (Hunk-O-Mania)

[Anthony]

Has anyone been to Hunkomania? From pictures and the way it's described, it sounds like only ladies are welcome at the shows. It doesn't say anything that men aren't allowed in. Was very interested in attending a show, even if it's just to look. Jeffrey the co-owner of the clubs is openly gay. Also I think some of the dancers are openly gay as well. I visited the page to buy tickets and it said they were sold out for a show that was last weekend. I visited the location before they began and 5 minutes after the show ended and there was only 3 vehicles in the parking. I never went inside of the venue. I don't know what to believe. Does anyone know the dancers?

What city is this referring to? I've heard of Hunkomania in Chicago, but I've never been.

It looks like they haven’t added anything to their Instagram since 2022. Maybe listing that show as “sold out” was another way of saying “ain’t happening.”

[rojjodc]

It also says "the most popular show for ladies".  In this day and age, I would not consider it, regardless of the city.  Let ladies have their own show and we can have our own.

I agree, rojjodc. When women were allowed in the gaiety theater, it ruined it for a lot of men.

I felt the same about NobHill in SF.  For a variety of reasons.

[Patbud]

Another thing, ,too is that it may as well have become a lesbian place or that little kids might as well have been allowed in.

Audience gender aside, Hunkomania is super-sketchy as a company. I don’t want to say anything libelous here, but I would not waste my money on them. If you want to see a male revue with high production value, go to Las Vegas instead. (Chippendales, Thunder From Down Under, Magic Mike, and Aussie Heat all allow men in the audience).

Thunder from Down Under is very homophobic.  Magic Mike and Aussie Heat will dance on guys.  Chippendales has one number in the show they bring a guy onstage.

Homophobic is a strong word.  Thunder is simply catering to its audience.   There's plenty of posts on here about men wishing strip clubs would do a better job of limiting female patrons (including comments made by present company).  Just like gay men at a gay strip club don't want to see women getting dances in the public areas, it would make sense that women paying for their ultimate fantasy don't want to see queer lap dances as part of the show.

To the original topic of Hunkomania, I've never been successful in attending on of their shows.  I'll search the addresses in each town it advertises, and it always leads me to non-descript building with no set show times.  I think it's more of an outcall service for dancers if a bachelorette party has enough of an audience and budget and a place for the guys to perform.

Does anyone have any information about Rudy Bundini? He used to perform here. I heard he also performed at a few gay venues but didn't seem to like it at all. There are also rumors about him working as a escort.

[TonyFL]

I used to perform for parties and full production male revues. I have been out of the business for about 10 years because of my career. You do have to be careful about places that advertise a male revue. Most of them are fake listings. 

Some of the real shows are women only, but a few of them will allow men. I did work with Anthony Labrada and Jeff Rocker from https://strippersforyou.com/. It's a different Jeff than mentioned before. They are both straight, but welcomed everyone to the show. I know they used to tour on a regular basis, but I think after Covid they just do some shows here and there. 

I really miss performing. We had such a good time. I still am in great shape, but I would have to wear a mask like the WWE wrestlers so I don't get fired. Haha.

Thanks for the insights and welcome to the forum!

I’m sure lots of guys here would love to hear more about your experiences performing.

Oh wow looks like the NYC show is real.

Wondering if any guys have gone to their shows before.

Rudy seems into money from what it seems so he probably did something on the side for the guys. As far as the article goes, I would never complain about being handled that way from a guy that looks like Rudy. These poor straight guys are always accused of SA from ladies even when in an intimate setting. Shame of them. These straight guys won't have this problem if they chose to dance for men. 

[Buff Daddy]

Rudy is a class act. He worked for Buffdaddys in Manhattan as my Bartender plus. This is nothing new with these Women. What im surprised is all the lap dances with Women were always done in front of others when they did the show at Esculitta because of false allegations against the dancers. I've talked to many of the dancers that work for me at Red Eye that they 

are not allowed to do any type of lap dances with women unless I'm watching or my manager is watching. Actually I really don't like it to be honest with you. Some of these women coming to these places are looking for trouble. When I worked out all Long Island and number of years ago we had the same problem at this club in Wantagh. Women would come into the place on a Wednesday night and it would accuse the dancers of stealing their pocketbooks, touching them in the wrong places, and number of times they had called the cops. One good thing with cameras is that after looking at the cameras it was determined that nothing wrong was done. I feel bad for Rudy. I'm going to have to reach out to him.

When was Rudy a bartender at your event? Wow I really missed out. Women also tip way less than men.

[Buff Daddy]

Sunday nights on 37st and 38st. Before I went over  to RedEye.  He was very popular.  He asked me to just keep his pics out of the emails.  We have guys that come to Buff Daddy's events that you will not see in the emails. As they say you snooze you lose I also had another Bartender/lapdancer Dino. Italian guy with a big fat one who actually worked with Rudy  at Hunk. 

[Xavitv]

I believe spunk also has the same policy of no private lap dances  for women.

If you go on the NYS Civil Court website, that case of alleged "assault" is still pending. The alleged victim allegedly got fondled, lawyered up, and filed a 34-page complaint against the stripper and the club. The complaint charged them with: negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligent security, and negligent hiring, retention, supervision and/or direction. Further, Plaintiff asserts claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault, and battery. The emotional and psychological trauma associated with the sexual assault and misconduct set forth herein has caused Plaintiff significant, and, upon information and belief, permanent, pain and suffering. Plaintiff has and will continue to suffer from anxiety, depression, confusion, humiliation, and shame due to the sexual assault and misconduct she endured. 

*The stripper and club filed a counter-claim against the woman.

The woman went to Hunk-A-Mania. It is a well-known strip club. She paid for lap dances. The stripper probably touched her breasts. Duh! What was she expecting to happen back there? A discussion on existentialism?
There have been a few times that yours truly contemplated filing a similar lawsuit . But that's only because the stripper didn't fondle and grope Bozo!

A lot of these so-called "women" at these events are biological men dressed in drag.

I have talked to many strippers and they also don’t like women that much because they expect dances, chat, drinks and get laid FOR FREE. And most of them look like whales. 
And on top of that, they get offended if they’re ignored by the strippers. 
buffdaddy, thanks for keeping them out of your events.

It's typical female behavior like this that makes me discredit most #MeToo allegations.

Emotional and psychological trauma was likely a pre-existing condition: being a woman
