What is Portland Stripper News?

At its core, PSN is not just another comedy show; it is a cultural exploration that dives deep into the heart of Portland’s strip club culture. Imagine a fusion of The Colbert Report’s incisive wit, PeeWee’s Playhouse’s whimsical charm, and the outrageous antics of Jackass, all featuring the city’s finest strippers. PSN seeks to flip the script on traditional narratives surrounding strip clubs, moving beyond the superficial to celebrate the people, creativity, and resilience that define this unique industry.

The show aims to dismantle the stereotypes often associated with strip clubs, presenting them instead as vibrant hubs of creativity and community. By amplifying real voices and sharing authentic stories, PSN endeavors to provide a platform that captures the raw wit and wisdom of those who thrive in this world. It’s not merely about the spectacle of stripping; it’s about the cultural, social, and personal narratives that make Portland’s strip clubs iconic.

Our Mission

Portland has long been celebrated for its quirky and eccentric culture, yet this portrayal often flattens the city’s complexity and overlooks its soul. PSN aims to reverse what has been termed the “Portlandia Effect” by shining a light on the real Portland—one that embraces the vibrant strip club culture and the philosophies behind the hustle. This show is a love letter to the industry, celebrating the beauty of reinvention, the power of individuality, and the brilliance of those who thrive under neon lights.

By focusing on the authentic experiences of dancers, club owners, and patrons, PSN seeks to create a narrative that resonates with both locals and viewers beyond Portland. It’s about showcasing the grit and grace of those who navigate the challenges of this industry, revealing the humanity behind the performances.
