After having started his spring season with the South Street drunk tank club crawl of "Naughty Clowns" and the raunchy sing-alongs of "Pornaoke," Psydde Delicious --DJ, host, corset creator (he still does that, you know!) and mischief-maker heads back to his "Fast Cheap & Out of Control" roots for "Jock on the Box," an amateur men's striptease for the boy next door. Delicious is not looking for the plastic look of the overly buff, the muscled or the brawny. Think the Suicide Girls' Web site turned into Boys Unbound, where the "dude off the street" -- a hipper, flippant Chippendale perhaps -- keeps on his tube socks and tank top and goes wild. While hosts Psydde and Lesbian Mike judge, and Cheap regulars Big Bear Pimp Daddy, Zonk and Slavid instruct the amateurs on the finer points of stripping theatricality, DJ Robert Drake spins his usual brand of rude electro grooves and '80s tunes. If winning a $200 cash prize and over $300 worth of sex toys from Passional isn't enough to get you there, maybe a shot at the contest "Massage the 6 Foot Inflatable Penis" will: The game is open to ladies and men. "Absolutely equal sexual exploitation all evening long," states Psydde. So it's bare-assed, and democratic too!
Jock On The Box: Philly's First Amateur Male StripDown!, Wed., June 2, 10 p.m., $5-$8, Club 27 Bank (formerly Envy), 27 Bank St., 215-922-3020.
