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.

The EDI East returns to The Pony Club in Memphis (aka ‘Bluff City’) for the first time since 2019. Jerry’s staff — most especially Stephanie Wilbanks and Jeb Jarrell — always allow us to present a smooth and successful event, and we can’t wait to go back to Memphis!’

The EDI West returns to Platinum 84 in Denver for the first time since 2017. Working with Scott, GM Dave Peacock and the great staff at Platinum 84 will help make this a truly memorable EDI West

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 24, during the Annual ED EXPO (club TBA)
