History

After much success with Strip Search in Australia and Manpower Male Revue, Billy Cross ventured to America on his next project. Strip Search travelled across the small towns of the United States interviewing "average joes" to be performers.[citation needed]

The American Storm boys performed at the Riviera until 2009 when they moved to the V Theatre at Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops. In early 2012 the troupe moved to the Plaza located in downtown Las Vegas. American Storm briefly performed at db's pong and pool from November 30, 2012 - March 16, 2013.[citation needed]
