About:

Magic Dyke* is a masc stripping group based in Berlin by and for lesbians, queer women, non-binary, trans and intersex people. We strive to show masculine stripping or “Magic Mike” dancing from non-cis masculinities.

Our Story:

Founders Daddy and Ryder, found each other and shared a dream: to feel sexy in their masculinity as queer people that aren’t cis men. To give butches, studs, bois, mascs and dykes a stage to feel sexy in a world that tells them they aren’t.

Daddy came from the Drag King community and queer event organisation. Ryder from the stripping and dance world. Both felt put into gendered boxes or struggled with identity and their on-stage characters. Magic Mike dancing gave both an opportunity to feel good in themselves, feel gender euphoria and, of course, feel hot!

We now create a Magic Dyke* parties with multiple performers, our infamous Pillow Palace dark room run by queer SWers, DJs and a SLINTA* (sapphic, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender) safe space.

Our beliefs:

  • Consent is sexy and the foundation of all of our events!

  • Dyke* does not mean cis white lesbian woman! Dyke* has been used as a slur against all with non-cis masculine presentation.

  • Butch is beautiful (and hot!)

  • Sex work is work!

  • We do not tolerate TERFs, SWERFs, racism, ableism or fatphobia.
