STRIPTEASE AND EROTIC PERFORMANCE
Most local councils now require an entertainment licence for striptease, lapdancing and nude performance art, unless the show is part of a conference or workshop event. When applying for a licence, the venue (which may be a public house) is required to publish an advertisement put up a notice inviting local residents to object. In addition, the application may be rejected on Health and Safety grounds. Licences can cost �30,000 per annum, although an occasional licence costs less, depending on the size of the audience.

The Theatres Act 1968 abolished theatre censorship but retained the law against obscene performances. That can lead to revocation of the necessary entertainment licence.
