The 6am Club

Jumping back in time again/ahead in the show's chronology for an episode which feels very relevant right about now (iykyk)! Enjoy my first experience in 6 years of working in a local club and the hope that brings in an industry which is ever-unsteady. Let's hop back to July 2024 together <3

Hello again! Cosy up with Gemma as she debriefs on a recent shift. 80% of club life is boring and waiting around for something to happen or someone to walk in. The other 20% is lap dancing in sweatpants and veneer lancing! So enjoy this episode with some particularly wild happening. TW: Brief mention and detail of sexual assault 45m10s-45m50s/

Join me for a bonus episode on revenge porn. A lot of my content got leaked online and now I'm having to deal with the consequences. This episode navigates issues surrounding how little rights we, as sex workers, have when it comes to content leaks.

Join me in my most recent work trip to Cardiff! Sometimes tours aren't as profitable as you'd hope. We're trying something a bit different in terms of format- so please let me know what you think. Trigger warnings: 36m30s-37m30s- mention of SA 44m20s-45m- mention of SA 47m20s-47m45s- mention of SA

Navigating through slow season is challenging... especially when every season feels like slow season! Precarity prevails and January is Januarying. Trigger warnings: 8m30s-9m20- brief mention of SA.

Gemma's flagging as she comes to the end of the festive period. The break between Christmas and New Year looks pretty bleak, but Gemma strikes a healthy dose of luck on this December eve.

An extra special episode on the revolutionary pop-up strip club, Sexplicit. Gemma's first ever pop-up event making a rebellious and ethical statement, promoting a move towards better working conditions. Join Gemma and guests Holli Baby, Katie Veil and Autumn Flame as they decompress from the night and generally chat shit. Socials for our guests: Holly Baby @hollibaby69 Katie Veil @b_tchonapole...

It's the last push. After a difficult and fruitless festive season, Gemma is determined to push through the last shift and claw her way to a resting place.

Working shifts back to back makes you feel like a living sexualised zombie. Living like clockwork: eat, sleep (if you have time and you're lucky), get naked (maybe) and repeat. Lace that with harmful ideas against people in my profession, it leaves very little of you feeling human.

Travel with me to Nancy's Strip Club in Rhyl! I talk about the challenges a stripper lifestyle dictates as I'm on my work binge. But something a bit different tonight as I drive 3 hours to work at a pop up event with all the good vibes!

It's still Christmas! But there is no rush...what is happening?! I'm getting to my whit's end as my job crumbles around me. Such a tall price to pay for...what? This is a LIFESTYLE.

We all have that one bad luck outfit...can I shake off the curse on a Tuesday night during the festive period? Join me as I sink deeper into this chain of work shifts.

December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers...it feels particularly appropriate to talk about in this episode.

The world of fetishes undoubtedly collides with sex work. Join Gemma on her drive after a meet up before the club, where she speaks about a very treasured regular with specific tastes.

The Christmas joy continues. Join Gemma in tonight's escapades. One customer is definitely getting coal in his stocking. The other will be getting everything on his wishlist.

Join Gemma on her drive home from work. The festive season is just about to commence, sleigh bells are ringing and business is booming! Drama still boils underneath; I guess wishing for peace among co-workers would be an unlikely Christmas miracle...

Join Gemma in an extra special long episode detailing her time working in Oz! First stop Perth, second stop Melbourne, last stop Canberra. Listen in on some wild stories. Learn the difference between UK & Australian strip clubs and what it's like to work abroad.

I'm not here for the whole 'SLLAAAYYYYY THE PATRIACHY GIRL' shit. But there are times when we can exploit our exploitation. Many men's egos are wholly perverse, how can I use this to my advantage though?

Overworked and on the verge of total burnout, Gemma has a visit from a pole dancing friend which makes life all the better. Gemma touches on the polarising attitudes within the pole dance community when it comes to sex work and allyship.

If 60K's worth of student debt from a language degree won't sell it to you, I don't know what else will! Join me in a flurry of road rage, trying to change my energy to match expectations and dealing with utter wasters.

Join me in another working tour, this time to Scotland! Tonight, it's booming. I'm moving quickly and making my money. I have a wonderful visit from a pole student- yippee! Listen to how I deal with some of the more difficult customers and how it's challenging to assert boundaries when cash comes into play.

I've been here a long time. I'm approaching vet territory. I don't know how I'm still here a lot of the time. Sit in with me and indulge in some existentialism on a dry af night of work. The socio-economic situation is not good. Nor is the stigma. What's new?! In this episode about fighting back against some of the common stereotypes directed our way, Cinnamon Babe's words...

Working when ill is never fun- but strippers sometimes have to do it! This episode is about club friendships, the precious clients and the pricks.

They say time is money, this is definitely true as any self-employed person can relate. But when stripping right now feels so much like a roulette, your take-home is dependent on you betting right. There is definitely skill in this, but there’s no exact science. And this is why, above all, timing is money.

Join Gemma on her 3 day working tour to a new city. A longer episode featuring why most men are really shit and club fuckery at its finest.
