Jesse, Thomas Ward to Host XRCO Awards April 11

LOS ANGELES — The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) on Thursday announced adult superstar Jesse, formerly known as Jesse Jane, and stand-up comedian Thomas Ward will co-host the 31st annual XRCO Awards.

The show is scheduled for April 11 at Lure in Hollywood. Click here to see the nominees.

"I am so excited to co-host the XRCO Awards this year," Jesse said. "It is such an honor. I will make sure it is fun and funny from start to finish. I can't wait."

Ward, a Bill Cosby impersonator, is known for his non-sex performances in Will Ryder's "Not the Cosbys" franchise.

"I am honored to co-host the 2015 XRCO Awards and to do so with Jesse is a treat," Ward said. "Wow she's pretty damn hot is she really hosting with me? Or did you tell her agent she was working with Bill Cosby? Good thing it's me because I'm sure if it was the real Cosby he'd try something slick if ya know what I mean. It's going to be a helluva night."

Featured in Billboard Magazine and on Huffington Post, Lure nightclub has hosted several Hollywood parties.

"When we decided to move the XRCO Awards to Saturday night, we knew that we had to come up with the perfect venue," said XRCO Chairman Dirty Bob. "Previously, we have always hosted the show on either a Wednesday or Thursday, but Lure is a great place for a weekend XXX extravaganza."

This year's show will feature a few special guests. XRCO XXXI will be filmed for later broadcast and distribution allowing fans to see the festivities for the first time. Additionally, there will be a special live performance that is unlike anything the show has ever hosted before, organizers said.

"We have worked very hard to always produce a great show and throw a fun party," Dirty Bob said. "This year we are going to make sure that we build on our success and make it better than it's ever been."

The XRCO Awards Show remains a free event and all members of the adult industry are cordially invited to attend.
 
For admittance click here or email Rog@pipelinemultimedia.com no later than April 9. Recognition at the door is also acceptable for admission, but all attendees are strongly advised to RSVP. Confirmed RSVPs will receive a confirmation email shortly after the deadline.
