Clothing Optional Dinners are becoming popular in New York.

Humid summers have encouraged a nudity trend that is stretching to restaurants, yoga classes and even a stand-up comedy club.

About 50 diners, whose motto is “no hot soup”, regularly attend monthly naked meals held at a handful of restaurants in the city. They are served by regular restaurant staff who, under city regulations, must be wearing clothes. “We’re just more comfortable nude,” said John Ordover, a keen urban nudist and founder of Clothing Optional Dinners.

The Phoenix Temple, a yoga centre in midtown Manhattan, has naked classes twice a week for about 10 practitioners. “I had such a transformative experience on my own when I did yoga naked rather than clothed, I wanted to share that” said Isis Phoenix, the yoga teacher. Each class starts with a disrobing ceremony. “The first 10 minutes of class - for anyone who is new, there’s always a sense of trepidation,” said Miss Phoenix. “It dissolves very quickly.”

At the People’s Improv Theatre in Chelsea, men and women comics perform each week at the Naked Comedy Showcase. “Each time I tried comedy naked, it was the best thing ever,” Andy Ofiesh, the event’s founder, told the Post. Half the auditorium is reserved for people who enjoy laughing in the nude. “We fill the space. Finding comedians is more difficult,” said Mr Ofiesh.

Bob and David will do it.
