2022 ED's Awards Pre-Nomination Voting Now Open

LOS ANGELES—The Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show, also known as the ED’s Awards Show, is slated for August 16, 2022, at the Criss Angel Theater inside Planet Hollywood.

Established in 1998, the ED’s Awards Show is the marquee event of the Annual Gentlemen’s Club Expo, the only national convention and tradeshow for the gentlemen’s club industry since its inception in 1993. The show honors the country’s top gentlemen’s clubs, touring feature entertainers, and club staff. The categories for clubs and entertainers have evolved over the years to keep pace with the industry’s evolution. This year, awards will be given to clubs in four updated regions—East, South, Midwest, and West.

The first step in the process of nominations for the ED's Awards is the pre-nomination voting, which will take place via direct email with an online ballot to all verified industry professionals. Pre-nomination votes will be accepted until Monday, June 20.

The 2022 ED’s Awards Show will be hosted by comedian Bret Ernst, who also appeared in Netflix's show Cobra Kai. Tickets for the show are $69 and can be purchased at theEDexpo.com.
