My First Bucks Show
Well, last night I got to experience my first Australian Bucks Show. A Buck is the groom and the Show involves a stripper (Australian Bachelor Party). This show was held at a local football club. There were about 30 men, mostly about 22 years old, in attendance. I’ve only attended a few bachelor parties in the states but none of them were quite like this one. It reminded me of the movie Animal House. The first few hours the stripper walked around topless making sure everyone had plenty to drink while heaps of meat was served up off the barbie (barbecue grill). I made due with nuts and chips but sure drank my share of beer. Then it was time for the show. All the guys moved chairs around the room in a big circle with the groom sitting in a chair at one end with a carpet in front of him. Most of the show took place on the carpet but some of it took place on the groom and even a few other guys. I won’t go into details but I will say that many props were used and the stripper even did a few magic acts. However, it wasn’t a hat she was pulling things out of. By the time my brother-in-law and I left, the strip show had ended and the boys were getting a little wild tossing chunks of meat and beer across the room at each other while others chose to step outside to settle some argument the old fashion way. Boys will be boys I guess. I had a great time and I’m only suffering from a mild hangover as a result.
