Former DC Councilman Starts New Career as Gay Male Strip Club Boss
LatestOnly in Washington, D.C. can a former city councilman become a gay strip club impresario. Meet Jim Graham, the 69-year-old former politician with a new start-up touting topless men and screaming patrons at something he calls “Rock Hard Sundays.”
According to the Washington Post’s Monica Hesse, Graham had a hankering to blend his two passions of art and erotica in the District and thought he’d start a new night at House nightclub on Georgia Avenue. House’s owner Darrell Allen was interested in the idea, since warmer weather and basketball season ruin his foot traffic. He even had a few stale nights where he’d sit in his own club’s audience and “call out, ‘Easy, Baby! You’re beautiful!’ just to keep up the pole dancers’ spirits.”
