Continental Agency

What Continental Agency is

Continental Agency, in full the Continental Theatrical Agency, is a booking agency for feature entertainers in adult clubs, working in North America and abroad from St. Pete Beach, Florida. It places three kinds of acts on its roster: showgirls, adult film stars and novelty acts. It books them into clubs. An entertainer who wants bookings calls the agency, gets placed at venues, and pays the agency commission through a form on the site. The site says the phone lines are "always open for Entertainers seeking bookings and for Clubs seeking Entertainers". The reader it suits is a dancer, adult film performer or specialty act who wants to tour clubs and appear live, with online content as a sideline.

How earning works here

The business is the feature circuit. Feature entertainers are the touring acts that clubs book for their stages. Continental says it "books hundreds of Feature Entertainers in Clubs throughout North America and abroad", from beginners to professionals, and describes itself as the agency clubs are told to call when they want to book features. That is the site's own claim. Its owner is quoted comparing the agency to general practitioners: it does not specialize in one type of feature and books beginner entertainers, showgirls and centerfolds, adult film stars, novelty acts and pop-culture celebrities into nearly any venue.

The history on the about page says a feature entertainer started the agency more than 35 years ago, and that her son joined in 1983 and has kept it going since. The agency says it leads in developing new features, and that many of today's stars began as beginners with Continental, which guided them into bigger venues and other fields of entertainment. It lists its own accolades too: a hall of fame award for its founder from a trade magazine in 2005, a booking agency of the year title 3 years in a row at that magazine's award shows, and an agency of the year award 12 years in a row at a pair of entertainer pageants, where it says many popular entertainers were discovered or trained by experienced features.

The roster is split into sections, each with entertainer profiles and short bios: Showgirls, Adult Film Stars and Novelty Acts. The adult film star section lists performers available for club appearances, and the novelty section covers specialty acts. The agency notes that its online database does not yet include every act on the circuit, and invites club owners to inquire about performers who are not listed. Joining works the same way. The about page tells those seeking consideration for the entertainer lineup, to be booked into venues nationwide, to contact the agency. The site was rebuilt in 2020, and the about page says the entertainer galleries now carry social media information so that venue owners get a more detailed look at the acts they want to book. A newsletter signup, "Stay in the Loop", sends notices about new feature entertainers and bookable events.

Around the booking, the agency runs an "Industry Services" section. It covers:

• Commission payments, where entertainers pay what they owe the agency.
• A club promotion guide, for venues.
• An entertainer promotion guide, for acts.
• Club media and printing services.
• Photography services.
• Travel services.
• Club insurance through an outside provider named on the site.

The entertainer promotion guide is the section a performer without a club audience of her own will find most useful. It says club owners and bookers use social media as a research tool when deciding whom to book, looking for images, videos and fan count, so a solid online presence matters to the career. It adds that promo materials to sell or give away at stage performances and events are essential: flyers, posters, cards and other merchandise. It recommends a good photographer and a good graphic artist, and it names two outside services. One offers graphic design, website development and printing for entertainer promotion, and the other is a photography service.

The guide then walks through the platforms it expects an entertainer to use. It recommends both a personal profile and a dedicated fan page on Facebook, and calls Twitter looser about content rules than Facebook and Instagram. For Instagram it advises showcasing non-nude photos. It notes that Snapchat has third-party options that let a performer charge fans for access, and it lists TikTok for short video and YouTube for promo and stage clips. It also points entertainers to places to sell private content to fans: OnlyFans and ModelCentro, both described as free to join, and for adult film performers a Pornhub channel and ModelHub for ad revenue and video sales. This is advice on building a following that helps get booked and on earning between club dates. The agency itself does not sell content for the entertainer.

The travel page is the third support service. It points to a travel agency it says the club industry has used for decades, covering entertainer flights to club venues, multi-flight plans for nationwide tours, club executive travel, and flights for a club-industry expo. That agency describes the work as flights, hotels, packages and rentals, and says it can put together a package for entertainers arriving at a club.

Money and rules

The agency earns a commission on bookings, and the entertainer pays it to the agency after the fact. The form on the commission page handles money going from the entertainer to the agent, booking by booking. The entertainer fills in a legal or stage name, the booking the commission is for, and the commission owed, and can submit several bookings at once.

In October 2026 the form adds a payment fee of 3% to the amount due. Payment goes by PayPal, either to a listed PayPal address or through a PayPal.Me link.

The site does not publish the agency's commission rate. It also sets out no contract, exclusivity or cancellation terms, and the phone line is the stated route for anything about a booking. The about page gives the legal name as Continental Theatrical Agency Inc. and prints a Florida license number for the agency, along with a fax line and a phone number for bookings.

Who it suits and who it does not

Continental suits a showgirl, an adult film performer or a novelty act who wants to work live in clubs and tour, and who is comfortable arranging bookings by phone. A performer with a name from film work can use the agency to turn that into paid club dates. A newer act can use the promotion guide and the agency's claim of guiding beginners into larger venues. Club owners looking for a headliner are the other half of the business.

It is a poor fit for someone who wants to earn online without traveling. The business is live club work, and the support services all assume travel, flyers, stage shows and appearances. The commercial terms are also agreed case by case and not posted, which favors an act with some experience of the circuit over one comparing agencies from a distance. Promotion is largely the entertainer's own job here: the guide recommends outside photographers, designers and printers and expects the act to run her own social accounts.
