Strip clubs around the world may have been deprived of their patrons due to strict lockdowns and continued risk of infection, but strip joint proprietors have turned to a familiar old format to stay alive.

Echoing similar moves from churches, cinemas and concert venues, strip drive-throughs have been set up in several cities around the world, with drivers being invited to pull up to poles for a fee.

A recent drive-through strip show in the German city of Landshut drew spectators from all across eastern Bavaria, including the nearby city Munich, for a sleazy but sanitary evening.

During the show in late May, queues of cars could be seen waiting for their turn to watch scantily clad men and women observing social distancing rules inside a tent in an industrial estate. The 20-minute shows were run by a local brothel in the southern German state.
