Show & Tel

This place was gross, ive only been once so this is my experience but the girls were kinda beat up looking, it was fun trying to throw ones into a cup that a girl had shoved between her ass cheecks, but the lapdances arent private at all theyre just off to the side of the main stage and they keep their clothes on so its pretty lame. I went here after leaving Risqué and it was an overall stepdown in quality.

Awesome! Went for my 24^th birthday had a blast with my fiancé! All around great time. Some great girls, some not so great. Considering the industry, I didn’t feel as if the place was dirty contrary to what most people said! Would highly recommend to someone who is open to a wild experience that some may consider inappropriate!

I have been to this club on Friday, first thing I didn’t like the ambience, limited options and all girls are above 35+ years of age. I would not recommend going to this club

I know guys who have been going there for over 20 years to jerkoff to a booth babe. They have employees who clean up your load! It is a half-​a-​whorehouse!

Well I went back to show n tell. Trying to have fun and find a girl to spend money on, I had $ 500 in cash. For the most part, the girls were friendly, they put on a good show, all that. Hair and makeup was done. I was having a drink when I was approached by a chubby girl with long curly brown hair, named Page Now I’m not bashing her weight, beauty comes in all shapes n sizes. What I am bashing is her personality. She was drunk after two shots of watered down vodka, not at all a pretty crier, and felt the need to tell me personal info I’d be happier not knowing. Hearing about your brother committing suicide to get away from you and how the state took your kids totally killed my mood. Than on top of that, she begged to come home with me for 100 $. I was so annoyed that I took my money to risqué down the block.

I like this place, had a good time with a few friends and met a few there as well. Strippers are ehh. Depending on when you go, the better talented ones are there on Friday and Saturday. They use the dancers to bartend on nights their not dancing so the drinks suck as you could imagine. Pregame or only order beer! Overall ⁴⁄₅ because the quality of dancers is usually above average and it’s only $ 10 at the door.

Finally had to glance over what Unilocalers have to say about Show’n’Tel.
As I could have probably guessed: these are ‘amateurs’ trying to guide you. Observe: half of the reviews are from timid-little-momma’s-daughters (predictably shrinking, squealing, and wrinkling-​their-​little-​noses; issuing outraged ‘ewwww’ at everything they saw). Are you gonna trust what suburbanites have to say about a strip club?
Fumbling internet n00bs… lacking important ‘life-​experience prerequisites’ for evaluating a joint like this. Way over their heads. They probably brought their cellphones in with them to play Freecell during this… outrageous.phantasmagoria.
Live Nude Girls! That’s what I’m tawkin bout. Friends, Romans, countrymen – you should take what I am about to proclaim as gospel. Hear these words.
The straight dope on this matter is that Show’n’Tel is not only the best strip club in Philadelphia… it is the best strip club on the entire East Coast of the United States. There’s really nothing like it anywhere outside of Amsterdam. It is unique. Frankly, I don’t know how it survives.
Some of the information given by other Unilocalers is flat-​out false. Sure, a couple strippers are occasionally present who might be over 39. But why be scared about it? Management wants to serve as many different tastes as possible. Men of all ages visit this bar, remember. Besides, veteran strippers ‘train’ the new hires. Furthermore, these older pros have true, *porn-​star* bodies. Quite a sight to see.
Nevermind. The impression given by other Unilocalers is wrong in so many ways, (even allowing for two ‘older’ ladies). What Show’n’tel is KNOWN for, guys – FAMOUS for – is the startling and astounding YOUTH of its staff. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Enter this bar, and you will see naked girls so young you will feel the hair rise on the back of your neck – you will feel like you’re about to get arrested.
This bar has by far, the youngest talent working in the city. Giggly, giddy, dizzy, bubbly-​young-​things in their first stripping jobs. Nubile, supple, lithe, slender, perky… fresh-​faced co-​eds, waitresses, or single moms making tuition & rent money. You’ve never seen the beat of it. The most *scrumptious* flesh in town, the most delicious, delectable, little honeys… and they sweat *hard* for every dollah! Are they great dancers? No, not really – but who cares? You can find truly great pole dancers next door at ‘Club Risqué’.
Onward: the economics. This bar is simply the best bargain ever. No, it is not overpriced. If you think its overpriced, you are showing your inexperience at drinking. A mere $ 20 door-​fee lets you BYOB. Can you not see the savings? You don’t have to tip barmaids every time you order a drink. See, if you had to order five $ 5 beers every 30 minutes – tipping a few bucks every beer – how much do you think you’d spend in three hours? A 12-​pak of Pabst from a store nearby is $ 9. So, just do the math. The door-​fee is covered as soon as you drink 2 – 3 of your own beers. Plus, ‘economies-​of-​scale’ when you split the booze bill with buddies. Heck, you can bring in a ¼ or ½ keg if you wish! How does this not make sense to you? Are you insane?
There’s a lot more I could divulge about Show’n’tel. I haven’t even mentioned the stage-​shows, the specialty acts, the audience participation; the games; the star performers, or the truly diverse mixture of the boisterous attendees. Guys AND girls present. I really can’t even discuss any of the bizarre and mind-​blowing sights I’ve witnessed here. Frankly, you wouldn’t believe me. You can’t handle the truth.
The reason I speak up for Show’n’Tel at all, is just to dispel the delicate, little-​white-​glove mewling from the kittenish waifs who have reviewed it so far. Perhaps they sense that a place like this is the greatest threat ever, to their marriage dreams? (a guy can have more fun here than he can in +20 years of marriage, that’s for sure).
Hey, I freely admit this place is FILTHY. I willingly affirm its NASTY. But in the best way! This filth is what makes it *great*. That’s why you can’t listen to Bryn Mawr girls. They just don’t get it, and they never will. The sweet, ripe, rank sleaziness of this den-​of-​iniquity is what makes it stupendous. Its a place for men to be the pigs we are. This is what we *crave*. It’s even kind of dangerous… but we like that too. Hell yah.
Bottom line: ‘Show’n’tel’ is easily the most fun go-​go bar I’ve ever seen, and I have been all over the world many times. In the USA, probably only New Orleans compares. Why this astounding flesh-​pit is found in Philadelphia of all places, I can not fathom. But I swear… if you come here for a buddy’s bachelor party & if you know what you’re doing, you can enjoy debauchery approaching *monumental* proportions. You will need to see a priest about it someday. There is truly Caligulean excess here. The guy grinning in the seat next to you has cloven hooves.

Went there with some friends on Friday night. It was not good. Expensive and the girls were not attractive. They also constantly came up asking for money to see their girly parts. Nasty.

To start off, I left a tip about this place a few years ago that was a bit harsh. Okay, so my brand new iPhone was likely pocketed by a shot girl that resembled baba’s roommate at the old folks home. However, time heals all wounds and looking back I might have been naïve to think I could mouth off to a club girl that found out Japan surrendered on the radio.
This brings me to my most recent experience at Show ‘N Tell. Roll up after Wing Bowl around 10:15 a.m. and it’s PACKED. (I think the cover was 10 but the doorman seemed pretty flexible considering the crowd).
We wait in line for a minute before we find out it’s BYOB. Following this revelation, my friends and I snuck in 2 fifths and a bag of wine but nobody seemed too concerned.
Girls weren’t terrible or whatever they were smiling and had lady parts so I’ll give ‘em all 10’s. Bouncers were on point enough to keep people civil but friendly enough to let us have a good time.
We had zero problems with anybody; in fact, I’m still searching for the guy with the other half of this tattoo.
Anyway, I felt responsible to make amends for my old review and tell whoever Unilocal philly strip clubs that this place ain’t always that bad and definitely do it after Wing Bowl.

I don’t care what anyone says, despite how «gross» this club is, it’s a lot of fun and worth your money. I haven’t gone in a while but I liked the idea of only spending $ 25 and it’s BYOB. That’s pretty awesome. My friends and I went there for entertainment/​kicks and giggles after the club. We went in with a case of beer and had a blast. The girls are very sweet. The only cons are that I hear it’s not BYOB anymore (I’m not sure) and a lot of homeless people hang out near there. Also, it is pretty dirty. I always use hand sanitizer and shower afterwards. But with all said, it’s fun and open until 4AM.

I came here tonight at around 9pm with a friend of mine after dinner. We were seriously bored [Monday night in the city] so we figured we’d take a walk on the «wild side».
First of all, the place was completely empty when we walked in, save for one heavily tattooed, trashy looking stripper half– heartedly dancing on the pole. Apparently the place OPENED at 9pm, and it was a Monday night so nbd.
We sat down awkwardly for a second [pretending to check phones ect. because she’d never been to a strip club before, and I had never actually participated at a strip club before. We really only came to watch the severe thirst going on between the men & strippers. Anyway, more men came in, so it was ok, because then the stripper wasn’t really paying attention to us anymore since we had previously been the only people in the club.
So THEN, the stripper suddenly faces us from on the stage, lies on her back, throws apart her legs, pulls ASIDE HER PANTIES, [yes ladies and gentleman, S&T is full nude WHICH WAS A BIG SURPRISE TO ME] and asks if we want to «take a shot», aka, throw crumpled up dollar bill balls at her vagina.
Uhm no, I’m good thank you.
She had directly asked my friend, who couldn’t hear over the music, so my friend turns to me like wtf is going on, and when I look back at the stripper to ask what she had said, she gave me a death look and left.
then her time on stage stopped, and she gets up, walks up to the other side of the bar, and flipping her boobs up and down, asks my friend if she wants a dance.
uhm, no. she’s good thank you.
I totally looked away. If the woman was younger, prettier, cleaner looking, and less aggressive I probably would’ve submitted but it was just creepy.
Then she makes her way around the bar, gets up in my face, and again, flipping her [aging, saggy] boobs up and down, asks me if I want to tip her.
Not really. I was a bit uneasy and way too sober, so I told her I would rather just get a few drinks first. And that’s when it hit the ceiling.
«What do you mean, not right now.»
«Uh, this is our first time in a strip club, we kind of want to ease into things.»
«They fucking called me out here to dance for you.»
[no they didn’t.]
«Well like I said we’ve never been to a strip club before.»
«Well that’s what you fucking do at a strip club. You tip people.»
«Ok, well maybe later.»
I didn’t know what else to do, so I turned away from her because she was trying to start a fight.
she then proceeded to stare at my back for literally 3 – 4 minutes.
then she says «Corny ass bitches» and stomps off.
never again.

I just skimmed over these reviews, and I don’t know why people are hating on this place. It’s a strip bar on columbus boulevard what the hell were you expecting? It’s entertaining and the beer buckets are a pretty good deal. Would I bring out-​of-​town business colleagues out here? Certainly not, but it’s a fun spot to check out with open-​minded friends.

This Strip Club Was Wack As All Hell… The «Sex Show» Where the chicks inserted dildos into each others vaginas was also wack… My advice, Save Your Money & Go Else Where!

If you’re wondering whether the majority of these reviews are accurate, let me assure you that they are. If you really need to see a vagina go to the penns port pub (right next door) before they close ridiculously early. If you need to see a vagina and get a lap dance go to the penns port pub then head over to Risqué. If you need to see a vagina while getting a lap dance try Day Dreams. If you really want to see a vagina, get a lap dance, pay a twenty dollar cover, and hang out in the cheapest looking bar possible while 18 year old douchbags toss dollar bills into solo cups wedged in some girl’s butt then by all means hit up Show N’ Tell. Fair warning, the girls here are, by far, the lowest quality I’ve seen in Philly.
PS Their «couch dances» are $ 30 dollars and take place in tiny wooden booths along one side of the main room, facing out to the stages.

If you’re out on the road all morning and haven’t masturbated by mid-​day and REALLY need to let one out, I highly suggest the token booths available here. You can shut the door or leave even leave it open, some creep-o’s would love to watch. or so I’ve heard. You can just shoot on the wall or the floor, they’ll clean it up for you!

Just thinking about my experience here makes me want to take a very hot antibacterial shower and wash away the memories.
Yep, the ick factor is that high.
Since it’s a BYO, you will be «treated*» to a full-​Monty experience by some of the most «interesting**» looking «ladies***» in the Philadelphia area. You will also be charged a «premium****» fee for entering such a raucous «gentleman’s*****» club.
* in the same room as some really, really naked chicks
** by interesting I mean not so hot
*** broads, dames or fiscally-​minded females
**** a s-​load of cash
***** this ain’t no place for gentlemen (or ladies)
Be warned. Take heed. Dress in a full-​body condom before going inside to peruse the adult materials and the stage show. It’s certainly not a classy experience but you’ll probably have some very interesting stories to pass along to your friends.

I feel dirty just writing this.
There is no reason to visit Show N Tel once you turn 21. It is a BYOB, so it is always filled with 18 – 20 year old kids taking in their first strip club experience (and what an experience it is!). Money is saved by bringing your own beer, but it is lost quickly on the $ 20 cover and topless vultures who circle the weak, waiting to pick at the one dollar bill remains.
The attractiveness of the aforementioned vultures spreads throughout a broad spectrum, from very attractive to… well, I’ll let your imagination run wild as to what the opposite end is. It is always very dark and freezing cold in Show N Tel (probably to help fight the spread of disease) and any time I have ever been here I feel like taking a shower immediately after.
Like I said, if you are over 21 and can go anywhere else… go anywhere else. If you are 18 – 20 and want to be blown away (insert joke here) go to Show N Tel… after all, you can’t get in to Delilah’s.
