The strip club industry’s number-one competition for touring showgirl entertainers
The EXOTIC DANCER Invitational — the EDI — is a three-night event that takes place twice per year. Two divisions — Showgirl and Starlet — each compete for industry titles and cash prizes. It doesn't get any better than this!
What is the EDIs
Exotic Dancer Invitationals
Established in 2014, the Exotic Dancer Invitational (EDI) is the most predominant showgirl dance competition in the world. By showcasing the top tier of feature entertainment, the EDI offers the most visible, and most credible, arena for touring showgirl entertainers in North America. Taking place twice a year during two, separate three-night events in some of the most popular adult nightclubs in the U.S., the EDI East and EDI West are the only place where showgirls vie for the crown of EXOTIC DANCER Publications’ coveted “EDI Overall Champion” title that is presented annually at the ED EXPO, the only convention in the world for the billion-dollar adult nightclub industry.
Get ready, Rocket City! The EDI East is returning to The Pony Club in Huntsville, Alabama! Huge thanks to Jerry’s amazing team—especially Stephanie Wilbanks and Jeb Jarrell—for always making this one of our smoothest, most successful events. We can’t wait to be back!
Are you ready, Denver! The EDI West is coming back to Platinum 84 for another epic year! With Scott, GM Dave Peacock, and the incredible Platinum 84 crew leading the way, this year’s EDI West is going to be one for the books. You don’t want to miss it!
The top two finishers from the Showgirl Division (Champion and First Runner-Up), from the EDI East and West, will go on to compete at the EDI Finals in Las Vegas on August 23, during the Annual ED EXPO (club TBA)
