2010 AWARD SHOW RECAP:
The Crazy Horse in San Francisco, the Deja Vu club chain and Schevelle win big at Exotic Dancer’s 13th Annual Awards Show
The 13th Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show was lucky for several clubs and feature entertainers, as they were honored as the best-of-the-best among their industry peers. At the 18th Annual Gentlemen’s Club EXPO (August 22-25, 2010, The Mirage, Las Vegas) ED (Exotic Dancer) Publications’ “From Exotic Dancer With Love” Awards Show presented awards to the top adult nightclubs, industry executives and feature entertainers at the industry’s only national awards show. Held on Tuesday, August 24th at The Mirage’s Grand Ballroom, the show was hosted by popular comedian Ralphie May (Variety Magazine’s “10 Comics to Watch,” Comedy Central specials, “Last Comic Standing”) and featured a live rock band and several special guest presenters.Awards Show was crowning event of 18th Annual Gentlemen's Club EXPO at The Mirage in Las Vegas

The evening’s biggest winners included The Crazy Horse in San Francisco, which took home the prestigious Overall Gentlemen’s Club of the Year Award; Schevelle, who was crowned ED’s Overall Entertainer of the Year; and Déjà Vu (which also owns/operates the Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club locations), who won the Club Chain of the Year Award.
“We’ve had several top comedians host our Awards Show over the years, but this was the first time the host has ever received a standing ovation,” says ED’s Associate Publisher Dave Manack of Ralphie May’s performance. “Thanks to him—and to all of the deserving award winners, nominees and special guests—this will certainly go down as one of the most memorable shows in the EXPO’s history.”
For the first time ever, ED Publications presented the Employee of the Year Award for the industry’s top club employee. Also, for the first time ever, four First Amendment attorneys were inducted into the Exotic Dancer Hall of Fame, based on their contributions to the EXPO, to the Exotic Dancer Club Bulletin (the adult club industry’s bimonthly business magazine, produced by ED Publications), and to the industry at large. They included Clyde DeWitt, Luke Lirot, Brad Shafer and John Weston.
“For all that these—and many other—First Amendment attorneys have done on behalf of adult nightclubs across the country, it was about time that they were recognized by us and by the industry,” says Manack of the Hall of Fame inductees.
