The wake-up call is the second act of a good stag weekend. The morning after, a performer lets herself into the apartment and gives the groom a show he will remember for all the wrong reasons.
Versions we run
- The classicA 15-minute show at the apartment, hotel room or villa.
- The dominatrix wake-upA strict performer yanks the duvet and takes charge of the morning.
- The breakfast brigadeA group of performers bring breakfast and a very loud playlist.
- The costume callA character, such as a nurse, a pirate or a footballer, who delivers the morning's "medical examination".
How to plan it
- Time it10 am is the sweet spot. Earlier is cruel, later wastes the day.
- AccessThe performer needs a way into the apartment, or the best man opens the door.
- Warn the neighboursTell the host or neighbours, if the walls are thin.
- Prepare a hangover planHave coffee, water and food ready for after.
- One sober friendSomeone has to supervise the timing.
What not to do
Do not try this at a hotel without asking, because many hotels refuse entry to visiting performers and will charge extra. Do not book it for the morning of a long journey, and do not let it run into the next activity: allow an hour between the call and the next item.
Questions people ask
What if the groom is hungover?
That is the premise. Keep a plan for coffee and food afterwards.
Is nudity involved?
It depends on the performer and the version. We tell you before you book.
Can we film it?
Only with the performer's agreement.
Does it work at a hotel?
Only with the hotel's approval. Apartments and villas are easier.
