Tootsie’s Cabaret, Deja Vu, Shar Zayn and Justice win big at 2022 ED’s Awards Show!
Held on August 16 at the Paris Theater, the 24th Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show — aka, the ED’s Awards Show — was the most well-attended Awards Show in the past decade. This year’s big ED’s Award winners included Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, which was voted the “Overall Club of the Year,” and Deja Vu, which received the “Club Chain of the Year” Award. The industry’s top entertainers were also represented with such prestigious awards as “Feature Entertainer of the Year,” which was presented to Justice, while Shar Zayn took the title of “EDI Overall Champion” for the second year in a row.
“Our ED’s Awards Show (sponsored in 2022 by Knights Global) is the marquee event of the Annual EXPO; it’s our chance to celebrate the top adult clubs, feature entertainers and club staff from across the nation,” says Manack. “Our comedian host Bret Ernst was in top form, as were our two entertainer performers, Ms Parker and Shar Zayn. We’re already looking forward to our 25th Annual ED’s Awards Show in 2023!”
