Boomer Banks, Blake Mitchell to Co-Host Str8UpGayPorn Awards

LOS ANGELES — Adult film A-listers Boomer Banks and Blake Mitchell will cohost the Str8UpGayPorn Awards Oct. 21 in Hollywood. They join previously announced emcee Bianca Del Rio.

The skin studs will “appear onstage throughout the night to entertain the audience, introduce presenters and show fans facets of their personalities rarely seen before,” a rep said.

Blake and Mitchell have “transcended the adult film space and developed well-earned names in gay mainstream media for their performances, their personalities and their pursuits outside of the industry,” said Str8UpGayPorn co-owner and editor Zachary Sire.

“On top of all that, they are two of the most genuine and hardworking performers in the business today. We’re so grateful to have them taking the stage in October.”

Banks said sharing the stage with Del Rio and Mitchell would be “magical” and that he looks forward to showing fans and attendees “another side of me they don’t really get to see on camera. It’s gonna be an unforgettable night, for sure.”

Mitchell expressed excitement at the broad reach of Str8UpGayPorn’s audience. “The show reaches fans around the world,” he said. “I look at it as a chance to entertain them in a whole new way. The fact that I get to do it with Bianca and Boomer is even better.”
