Strip Search
STRIP SEARCH transformed a group of ordinary young men into an extraordinary professional male revue. Hosts Bruce Turner and Misty Lowrey went on a cross-Canada search for anyone who had the secret—or not so secret—dream, to dance and well…strip.
From 20 semi-finalists at boot camp to 12 finalists in training and eventually a troupe of six men who became Canadian Thunder, STRIP SEARCH documents what it takes to turn average Canadian guys into a male revue troupe—from choreography to costume fittings, workouts, waxing and calendar shoots.
The series finale performance in front of a live audience is just the warm-up act for their tour across Canada.
STRIP SEARCH is about fun, warmth, and decent Canadian guys taking it [almost] all off—physically and emotionally—for a chance at a new life and a career that includes fun, travel and glamour.
