XRCO Announces 26th Annual Awards Show Hosting Trio

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) announced its host and hostesses for its 26th Awards show.

Adult entertainment superstars Nikki Benz and Lisa Ann will join the legendary Sean Michaels on stage at the Highlands Nightclub in Hollywood on April 29 to host the gala event.

“I am so honored to be chosen as one of the hostesses,” said Benz. “On a night where the top journalists in our industry honor the very best, I get to be right in the middle of it!"

The addition of Sean Michaels puts a living legend on stage between two beautiful women. “Sean Michaels is a true legend in this business. He's incredibly poised, suave, and well-spoken and we look forward to seeing him host the XRCO Awards,” said Karen Stagliano of Evil Angel. “Evil Angel's Buttman Magazine Choice is thrilled to be his distributor.”

"XRCO was the first event I ever attended in the industry, to now be hosting; momentous!" said Lisa Ann. "Getting to do anything with Nikki Benz is totally awesome and Sean Michaels will make us look so amazing!"

“Last year’s show was a huge success,” says XRCO’s Dirty Bob. “We knew we needed something special to kick off our next twenty five years. What better way to do it than to invite two of the industry’s leading ladies in Nikki Benz and Lisa Ann and have them flank one of the biggest, in more ways than one, male performers; XRCO Hall of Famer Sean Michaels?”

Industry and press are invited to attend. More information from XRCO.com.
