The Captain Cream Story
Gentleman’s Club / Strip Club / Topless Entertainment Legacy
Operating continuously for over 20 years in any business would be a reason to celebrate. Although we go by a new name, Captain’s Cabaret instead of Captain Cream, you’ll recognize some of the faces who have been here from the very beginning.
The History of Captain Cream
Our club opened in the winter of 1986 as JAGG, the Teen Club. We were the first under 21 nightclub to serve the South Orange County, California population. Overnight, JAGG became the hottest party place for young adults to dance, see, and be seen. There would be lines of hotties snaking all around the building, waiting for their chance to hit the dance floor.
After a year, we changed our format to a Christian nightclub. For the next 3 months, we were the #1 destination for church youth and young adults to dance, relax and fellowship.
Then in the winter of 1987, our evolution as a nightclub took a different turn when we became Captain Cream’s Tussling Tootsies. Showcasing bikini-clad dancers that wrestled on stage in a huge pit filled with hot shaving cream (yes, that’s where the cream comes from), it soon became the hottest ticket in Orange County. These wildly popular hot cream wrestling shows helped the military personnel stationed at the former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro adjust to their new assignment.
The novelty of hot cream wrestling was supplemented with shower shows, burlesque productions, and always featuring the most beautiful, imaginative strippers ever seen.
Over the years Captain’s has been the setting for numerous TV shows, music videos, and the Captain’s cable TV spot was nominated for the Southern California Cable Commercial of the Year in 2004.
