I was wondering about tip-outs. Who am I expected to tip at the end of the night? DJ, housemom, who else? What is a fair percent to tip? I'm going to start stripping in a few weeks, so I want to make sure I don't short anyone! Thanks in advance!

This is going to be VERY different in all areas and in all clubs. Its all club specific. Some clubs have a minimum tipout, some you tipout an amount at the beginning and it covers everyone, some tip managers, some dont, some have housemoms, some don't. I would suggest when you find a club you want to work at, find someone you can trust there - either the housemom if she's nice or a veteran dancer that seems like she won't kill you if you bug her, or maybe even a manager can fill you in on the norms of that specific club.
A rule of thumb though - if someone provides you a service - you should tip them. A waitress takes care of your tab promptly, I'd tip her, the housemom fixes a snag in your costume - tip her, the DJ gives you a good set, tip him, the bouncer walks you to your car, tip him. How much is just something you're going to have to find out about the club you start workin at.
Goood luck.
Pooka is right, you won't know until you ask YOUR club. Every club is different.





Yeah, you're going to have to ask whichever club you are going to work at how they do things. I've worked in clubs where we didn't have to tip anybody unless we felt like it, and I've worked in clubs where they take 'x'% of what we made. They should let you know when you start, and if they don't just ask them.
