Ethel Merman is smiling up from her perch in hell. Performance chronicles the exploits of XXX strippers and the man who tries to get them all together for a show. The first half of the film is dedicated to the booking agent's calls to each man, after which a sexual scene of some sort is featured. The second part consists of their performances before a live audience. This film is at once intensely erotic, with its breathless close-ups and fevered performances, and totally cheesy - many of the striptease numbers come across as just a little more than silly.

Blonde Shaun Victors gets the first phone call. After he confirms his booking he gets back on the horn and begins to talk dirty. He then props himself up on the windowsill and removes his towel. Across the street another man jerks off as he watches from his window. This scene is shot really well, cutting between both men as they get off on the thrill of voyeurism - all the while Victors' filthy talk adds some extra spice. Balding Nick Rodgers is in the middle of shooting a porno with Latin hottie Melchor when he gets his call to perform. He accepts the offer and returns to Melchor, ready to flip him on his back, tongue his bum, fuck him good, and jizz right into his loosened hole.

Next, brunette looker and his sexy fuck buddy sixty-nine and fuck in three positions to celebrate their upcoming gig. Meanwhile, the booking agent jacks off while fantasizing about Steve York in action. During rehearsal, the booking agent falls into reverie as Shaun Victors practices his striptease. There's some hot nut sac licking and hard butt fucking in this brief but nasty segment. Finally, it's show time and all our boys saunter on stage and give their all -including oral interactions with audience and big, far-flying cum shots. One of the performers even blows his load into a fan's mouth. You'd never see that these days. At least two of the guys cannot dance to save their tight, hairless asses, but they work their mega-meat with enough flair that they can be forgiven.

Steve York's gorgeous fuck toy from a previous scene is by far the best. He's stunningly handsome and prowls the stage, with dick in hand, taunting everyone in sight. The final performer is Nick Rodgers. He dresses as Gene Simmons from KISS, flailing about in a black cape and shaggy wig as he jacks his long dong. Somewhere, Gene Simmons is looking for a way to get royalties from this and Ethel Merman is grinning even more.
