Bianca Del Rio Tapped To Host 2nd Annual STR8UP Awards

LOS ANGELES—Str8UpGayPorn announced Bianca Del Rio will serve as host of the second annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Bianca Del Rio hosting the second annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards,” said Str8UpGayPorn editor Zachary Sire. “She’s in a league of her own, and I know she’s going to bring the house down!”” Bianca Del Rio is a multi-talented comedian, actor, and drag superstar. Since winning Season 6 of the popular VH1 series RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2014, Bianca has gone on to become a true global comedic superstar. With several worldwide comedy tours, two films, and a best-selling book under her belt, Bianca has created a brand all her own. This fall, after wrapping up her latest sold-out comedy tour, she will take the stage on Oct. 21 at the historic Avalon in Hollywood to host the second annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards like only she can. “Due to my extensive, critically acclaimed, award winning work in the porn industry (in the pivotal plot scenes before any sex happens), I have been chosen to host this year's Str8UpGayPorn Awards!” Del Rio said. “I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to give my insightful, uplifting, genteel commentary at this prestigious event.”  She goes on to say, “It’s sure to be an enchanting evening. Hopefully I don't offend anyone and get thrown out like I did at that awful Make-A-Wish Foundation event. Children are assholes.” This one-night only, star-studded event will be attended by fans, the biggest stars of gay adult film, and surprise celebrity guests. After last year’s sold out show in New York City, hosted by Sandra Bernhard, the Str8UpGayPorn Awards are back and bigger than ever. In addition to returning traditional categories like Best Picture and Best Actor, there are 11 new categories to honor even more deserving adult stars and scenes. Tickets are now on sale at Str8UpGayPornAwards.com and nominations will be released next Tuesday, Aug. 21.
