CLEARWATER, Fla.—In one of America's most historical cities, in front of a capacity crowd, the best of the adult nightclub industry were honored at the 18th annual ED's Adult Nightclub and Exotic Dancer Awards Show. As the glitter settled, famed "bad girl of burlesque" Roxi D'Lite danced away as ED's Overall Entertainer of the Year, Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami Gardens was awarded Overall Gentlemen's Club of the Year, and Spearmint Rhino was named Club Chain of the Year.
Adult performers Jayden Cole and Richelle Ryan picked up awards for Club Favorite Entertainer of the Year and Adult Movie Entertainer of the Year, respectively.
This year's show was held at the Civic Theater in downtown New Orleans on August 25th and hosted by Thea Vidale. Best known for her primetime ABC show Thea, as well as Last Comic Standing, Vidale is a 30-year comedy veteran.
The ED's Awards Show is presented and produced by ED (Exotic Dancer) Publications each year during the annual Gentlemen's Club Expo, also presented and produced by ED Publications. The 23rd Annual Expo was held at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel, August 23-26.
In all, 13 awards were presented, including Club of the Year and "Small" Club of the Year in four regions (East, South, Midwest and West). Joe Carouba, chairman of the BSC Group of San Francisco (owners of the San Francisco Penthouse Club, Hustler Club, and Gold Clubs respectively, among several others), was inducted into the Exotic Dancer Hall of Fame.
Voting for the 2015 ED's Awards was held online at TheEDawards.com in July 2015. Club, entertainer, and staff nominees were gathered mainly from pre-nomination votes placed at TheEDawards.com throughout May.
