Flashy. Flirty. Fearless. This is your moment.
The spotlight is on, the music is pumping, and the crowd is ready to cheer you on. Amateur Strip is Banff Pride’s most outrageous and empowering late-night event, a fun, body-positive strip competition open to all identities and all bodies. No experience required. Just bring your sass, your confidence, and your best strut.
Hosted by the iconic Karla Marx and Bitch Sassidy, the night will see brave performers take the stage to tease, twirl, and toss it down to a killer track chosen just for them. Each heat will be judged by our celebrity panel, with finalists competing for a chance at $250 cash, runner-up prizes, and ultimate bragging rights.
Contestants get:
A curated party bop to perform to
A hype-worthy onstage intro
A supportive crowd cheering every move
All outfits welcome, costumes, props, and personality encouraged. Bottoms must stay on to keep it legal.
Don’t want to perform? No problem. Join the audience and witness a night of unforgettable courage, charisma, and pure queer joy.
