The Chocolate Men

Hello The Chocolate Men. Thank you for doing this interview with us.

Q. Could you let us and our readers know who you are and what you?

A. We are a black owned company with a team of all black male erotic performers from across the world. ‘Gentlemen's Clubs .. We turned the tables’!

Q. What made you come up with the concept of The Chocolate Men?

A. The strip group was initially formed after we held a Magic Mike style show which featured one black male stripper. He received the most attention from the crowd during that one night. After realising there was nothing like this in the UK The Chocolate Men was created.

We did not want the guys to be labelled and looked upon as just objects. They are not pieces of meat. Most of them have got things going on other than being entertainers. One of the original guys is a professional MMA fighter, another an actor who does a lot of work with Marvel films, another one was funding his master’s degree through working with us.

At The Chocolate Men, our journey began with in 2017 with a passion for reviving the glamour and sophistication of vintage entertainment while infusing it with modern flair. Noticing that there is not an all male stripshow in the UK, we grew engagement on social media going viral from our first show. The demand was so huge we had to make more!

Founded by Louis Francois, the mission was to create a space where audiences could escape into a world of enchantment and revel in the beauty of artistic performance.

Q. For people that are finding out about you for the first time can you explain how your shows work and what they can expect?

A. Magic Mike goes black with 10 times more naughty. It is a whole experience from the minute you are at the door where you will be greeted by our friendly host, and one of our performers. We create fantasies with a bit more edge.

Our X-rated strictly over 18 evenings have between four and six performers per show, in various costumes depending on their choice of set for that night, stripping down and showing our guests exactly what they came for .. nakedness!!

Performing various stunts and tricks and shaking their thangs to keep the crowd entertained. We have a lot of audience participation, a huge amount of fun, excitement and laughter.

Q. What type of people come and enjoy your shows?

A. Everyone is welcome, we have a huge age range of guests from 18 - 80. We promote that we are proudly 100% inclusive, and welcome members of the LBGTQ+ community with open arms. This stands for all of our events and private bookings also. From a couple of friends on an impulsive night out, to a 40 person Hen Night, we are there to make it a night to remember, and hopefully come back and enjoy many times.

Q. How can people book tickets to your shows?

A. Simply go to www.thechocolatemen.com.

We have weekly shows, monthly Bottomless (the drinks, not the men) Brunches, with topless Butlers, and DJ , Fantasy Bus parties (What Happens On The Bus Stays On The Bus) and Draw and Pour events with cocktails and our extremely handsome men as life models!

We can also be contacted via email at hello@thechocolatemen.com for large group bookings, with added goodies here.

Q. You also had a show called The Full Black Monty on channel 4 in 2020? What was this show about?

A. This programme goes behind the curtain with The Chocolate Men aired in September 2020 – A Black-owned business making waves as Britain’s first all-Black touring strip dancing group, filmed during their 2018 nationwide tour. With a revealing look at what brings audiences from all walks of life flocking to their performances, the men behind the saucy strip shows explain what motivates them to bare all.|

We completed The Black Full Monty in 2019 when the world was a very different place. Now protests and debates have brought the issue of race and identity into sharper focus here in Britain and the world. From its inception The Black Full Monty, was a light-hearted insight into a sensitive subject – black masculinity – something rarely talked about on British screens. We hope the honest and open conversations the programme features will have the power to open dialogue and offer different perspectives about black men who decided to take ownership of the stereotypes that beset them."

This one off documentary has now aired worldwide, and was also featured on Googlebox in both the UK and Australia. A follow up documenty series is in the potential pipeline. Currently the show is on stars UK which you can find online, and across other worldwide networks including Amazon.com

We were also part of another Channel 4 show called My Massive Cock, which allowed the cameras to come backstage with us to see exactly how everything stays so hard during performances - giving away our trade secrets for the viewers entertainment.

Various guys from our team have now featured on TV shows.

Q. Lastly, can you let our readers know what you have coming up in the near future?

A. We have various exciting weekly events in London. Shows, Brunch, Bus parties, Draw n Pour. We also can not wait to be back on the road with another UK and European tour coming up in 2025 covering various cities.
