Most of P-Valley’s stars had body doubles for the stripping scenes, but not Brandee Evans. She did all her own pole dancing on the new Starz drama.

A first look at Starz’s new drama P-Valley, set in a Mississippi Delta strip club called PYNK
Starz’s latest drama is P-Valley, based on Katori Hall’s play of the same name (except in the play’s title, the “P” is “P*ssy”), tells the story of a group of women who work in a Mississippi Delta strip club called PYNK. Hall and the other producers and directors took great care to tell a story of sex workers without being exploitative or gratuitous and therefore every actor had a body double. They also went to great lengths to ensure everyone’s comfort on set.
But one star, Brandee Evans, chose not to use a body double. Here’s what you need to know about how grueling she discovered pole dancing can be, but why it was important to her to do it herself.
