For 15 years, ED (Exotic Dancer) Publications has been honoring the multi-billion-dollar adult nightclub industry with its only national awards event: The Annual ED’s Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show. This year’s Awards Show is slated for August 28, 2012, at the Orleans Showroom inside the Orleans Casino, and is one of the highlight events of the 20th Annual “Reunion” EXPO (August 26-29, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas).

Four talented feature entertainers will by vying for the prestigious title of ED’s “Overall Feature Entertainer of the Year,” and each of the four will be offering command performances during the show.  The 2012 nominees for “Overall Feature Entertainer of the Year” are: Two-time nominee Gia Nova, first-time nominees Lisa Licious and RubberDoll, and four-time nominee Suzie Malone (note: previous Overall Entertainer of the Year winners are exempt from the category).

Featuring hot new comedian Pablo Francisco as host, the 2012 Awards Show will be packed with live rock ‘n’ roll music, special guest award presenters and an after-party with more than 30 porn stars and an open bar in a villa suite at The Palms Hotel & Casino overlooking Las Vegas.

Pablo Francisco is one of the most popular touring comedians worldwide.   Those who experience Pablo’s show for the first time find themselves captivated by his hilarious, dead-on impressions.  His ability to physically morph himself into movie stars, singers and a multitude of nationalities gives Pablo’s show a universal charm.  Pablo has appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and Comedy Central’s “The Show Biz Show w/ David Spade.”  He has also been a cast member on the Fox Network’s sketch comedy show “Mad TV,” TBS’ “Frank TV,” and has appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show.

Held each year during the Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners EXPO—the only national business-to-business convention for the adult nightclub industry—the ED’s Awards Show honors the nation’s top adult nightclubs and feature entertainers.  Award nominees were chosen thanks in large part to “pre-nominations,” which were accepted at TheEDAwards.com from May 15 through June 5.  The Final Ballot for the 2012 ED’s Awards will be live online only at TheEDAwards.com from June 22 through July 20, 2012.
