UK naked butler shortage has hen parties fuming - with 'willy straws' also at premium

Hen parties have hit rock bottom thanks to a chronic shortage of naked butlers.

The number of bashes has rocketed due to a post-Covid boom in weddings, leaving companies desperately short of fit fellas willing to strip off.

Naked butler service Butlers with Bums has now launched a nationwide recruitment drive.

Boss Dan Harley said: “There is a national shortage of naked men. We’re the busiest we have been in over a decade. We are in search of men aged 23 to 38 who aren’t afraid to flaunt their bodies and mingle with hens.”

Naked butler Thomas Crowe, 28, from Bournemouth, said he has “never been busier” and is booked up until October.

The surge in hen dos has also led to a shortage of X-rated paraphernalia. Prices of “willy straws” have shot up fourfold and there is now a six-month wait for deliveries from China.

Matt Mavir, managing director of Last Night of Freedom, said: “Bookings for hen dos are off the charts this summer. Demand is so high we are seeing a drought of willy straws and penis pinatas.”

Google searches for “hen do” have rocketed to the highest rate for 10 years.

Another party organiser revealed: “People have caged-animal syndrome so they want to go out and go wild.”
