Following in the footsteps of one of the most popular ED's Awards Show in the event's history, the 2009 ED's Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards show will once again find itself at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - this time, in their brand new 'Joint' showroom. This year's 'Rock & Jock Awards Show' will boast both a rock 'n' roll and sports vibe, incorporating EXPO '09's 'Building a Winning Team in Your Club' theme. The 2009 ED's Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show - the multi-billion-dollar adult nightclub industry's only national awards show - will present awards to the nation's top adult clubs and feature entertainers on August 25th, 2009, during the 17th Annual ED Gentlemen's Club EXPO.

'With all of the great feedback we received after last year's Awards Show, there was no doubt that we had to return to the Hard Rock,' says ED's Associate Publisher Dave Manack. 'Everything our attendees loved about the '08 show - live music by The Crashers band, a relaxed rock 'n' roll atmosphere, a great venue, table seating, etc. - is back this year, with some new twists.'

Those 'twists' include a slew of special awards presenters, including a couple of superstars from the sports world. Dallas Cowboy legend and Superbowl champ Ed 'Too Tall' Jones will be handing out ED's awards, as will motocross superstar Carey Hart. Hart will also host the Awards Show After Party at his nightclub Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock. Other special presenters include Lisa Ann, star of 'Nailin' Palin,' Howard Stern's 'Ronnie the Limo Driver,' porn legend Ron Jeremy, the 'Naked Comedian' Jade Simone St. Clair and more.

And speaking of the NFL, Awards Show guests will have a chance to win two tickets to football's 'big game' (and you know what super 'big game' we're talking about!) with a surprise competition.

In addition to regional adult club awards for the Northeast, Southeast, Mideast, Central, Southwest and Northwest categories, there are eight clubs nominated for the prestigious 'Overall Gentlemen's Club of the Year' Award. They include: Delilah's in Philadelphia, PA; Diamond Cabaret in Denver, CO; Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in New York, NY; Pink Pony South in Atlanta, GA; Rachel's in West Palm Beach, FL; Rick's Cabaret in New York, NY; The Lodge in Dallas, TX; and The Men's Club in Charlotte, NC.

In the entertainer award categories, the following four awards will be presented: 'Newcomer Feature of the Year,' 'Adult Movie Feature of the Year,' 'Club Favorite Feature of the Year' and the coveted 'Overall Entertainer of the Year.' The five 'Entertainer of the Year' nominees, who will also provide command performances on the 'Joint' stage, include Daisy Duxe, Rachelle Laree, Robyn Foxx, Schevelle and Suzie Malone.

There are also ED's awards for 'Club Chain of the Year,' 'Feature Club of the Year,' 'Industry Innovator of the Year' and the Annual ED's Hall of Fame inductions.
