Trump Accuser Draws Eclectic Crowd To North Shore Strip Club
Police beefed up security for Friday and Saturday appearances by Stormy Daniels at Kittens Gentlemen's Clubs.

SALISBURY, MA -- With about a dozen people holding signs supporting her, Stormy Daniels took the stage at Kittens Gentlemen's Club in Salisbury for the first of four shows Friday night. The appearance by the adult film star who claims she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about an affair with President Donald Trump prompted police to beef up security for the event. Daniels finishes her stay in Salisbury with two shows on Saturday.
Daniels ignored reporters shouting questions at her as she was escorted into the club by a security detail Friday evening. People who saw the first show told NECN she danced was onstage for about 30 minutes, dancing to four songs -- including "American Woman."
"I have a political group going that has never been to a strip joint," John Archer, who bought tickets for the first show, told NECN.

While the club booked Daniels in the spring as she started becoming as much a fixture on CNN and Fox as she was on Pornhub, Kittens just started advertising the appearance last month.
"We just had Bridget the Midget there so when we took her sign down, we put her's (Daniels) up," club owner Kevin Moury said after the club started advertising the show. "We're looking forward to it."
