Thursday, July 27th of Queer and Pride, will host a S*x Workers Program at multiple venues across Amsterdamโs Red Light District! Queer and trans s*x workers will take center stage with an array of delicious talentโincluding striptease, spoken word, and even edible sculptures!
At a time when politics around s*x work are heated in Amsterdam and across the Netherlands, this program will put s*x workers back into the center of Queer & Pride celebrations and showcase the multitude of talents of the s*x worker community.

Striptopia will come together for the SWers Day to perform with members of the collective. During the show, sw-ers, queer strprs, and BIPOC performers will take the center stage. The show will consist of 5 performers, 2 of which are drag queens and 3 strprs and a host. The host will spend time talking about consent and general education around SW as well as making fun accessible jokes about stripping to engaged with the audience. Everything is carefully curated to make the entire experience immersive and encapsulating – our strippers and drag artists are sure to wow you!
