Show Boys

Chris Harder

Ladies and Gentlethems, welcome to Show Boys! The podcast that brings you a glittery, gritty, FULL FRONTAL GLIMPSE into the world of Boylesque. Now to some, Boylesque is simply male striptease, but your host Chris Harder aims to go beyond antiquated definitions of gender and get deep. Real deep. Together with his guests, Harder will explore questions like, “What did Boylesque look like in the 1950’s? In the 1850’s?” “How is Boylesque related to other cultural institutions like Chippendales, drag, and gay-for-pay sex work?” “Who created the first banana hammock and what’s the biggest banana that ever hammocked?” And finally, “What does Boylesque look like now in 2023, and what’s next?” So ice your nipples and grab the nearest tube of chapstick, because baby, it’s time for SHOW BOYS.
