About YouFilthy Events
Founded in 2019 on the East Coast of the UK, You Filthy Events is a trailblazing competition and showcase company proudly based in Skegness. As the first of its kind - a SWer-owned pole competition platform - You Filthy Events has carved out a space where stripper-style pole dance is not just welcomed but celebrated.
With six events each year, You Filthy Events brings together performers of all levels - whether seasoned professionals or passionate hobbyists - in a safe, fair, and inclusive environment. These events are a powerful tribute to the roots of pole, honouring its sensual, sexy, and deeply expressive foundations.
Driven by a commitment to authenticity, You Filthy Events upholds transparency in everything it does - from judging processes to performer communication - ensuring every participant feels seen, respected, and valued.
At its core, You Filthy Events is empowering, innovative, community-driven, and unapologetic. It’s more than just a stage - it’s a movement.
Having sold out shows and collaborated with some of the industry’s finest, the company continues to raise the bar for what pole competitions can and should be.
The Organiser
Emma Coffey is a long-standing figure in the UK Pole community, and is an experienced event producer, studio owner and instructor.
Inspired and informed by her time working in the Strip Clubs, she founded YouFilthy Events to create a platform for stripper style movement, at a time when it wasn’t widely celebrated in the UK scene. What began as an idea quickly grew into a respected space, rooted in authenticity, fun and community.
Alongside producing multiple YouFilthy and Peppermint shows each year, Emma also runs Empower Fitness Studio, where her values remain the same: safe, accessible spaces where everyone feels welcome and supported - exactly as they are.
Approachable, warm and refreshingly real, Emma brings a magnetic energy to everything she builds - always putting people first.
