LOS ANGELES, Calif. / June 24, 2016 – When the Best in Sex: 2016 AVN Awards Show, hosted this year by comedian Kate Quigley and adult superstars Joanna Angel and Anikka Albrite, airs on Showtime, what you will see on the small screen is not exactly what transpires on stage in Las Vegas. Cable viewers get both more AND less than the live audience. Viewers at home see many extras —interviews and backstage footage—but they also miss some of the action on stage.

The good news is that a few moments of choice material that will not appear on Showtime can be seen by all on the mainstream comedy show FunnyOrDie.com, promoting the hard work and efforts but the co-hosts.

FunnyOrDie.com has posted a segment that begins when award show co-hosts Joanna Angel and Anikka Albrite announce that the envelopes containing the names of the winners have been held up at the airport. Cut to the runway, where Colette/X-art director Colette Field and a band of beauties—Adria Rae, Alex Grey, Piper Perri, Jenna J. Ross, Jillian Jansen and Elsa Jean—are throwing an impromptu rave in the X-art jet. Playing an AVN reporter, Franziska Facella, breaks up the party, sending Rae and Grey off to deliver the goods.

What to do to kill a few minutes? Albrite suggests a little musical interlude, so the two hosts sing, backed by dancers from Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. Think of it like bonus material on a porn DVD.

Too hot for Showtime? You be the judge. Hear the song on FunnyOrDie.com. And see the rest of the Best in Sex: 2016 AVN Awards Show on Friday, June 24 at 11 p.m. ET on Showtime. Known as “the Oscars of porn,” the annual AVN Awards Show is the premier gala of adult entertainment and recognizes titles, individuals, and companies for contributions to and excellence in the industry.

“One of the most powerful feminist icons in the adult industry” – Pacific Standard

“Joanna Angel started the alt-porn studio Burning Angel, employing girls with tattoos and piercings as part of a booming microgenre of punk-themed porn that began taking hold in the late ’90s and exploded during the 2000s.” – Grantland

Pushing the envelope, the BurningAngel Empire is a refreshingly unique web cocktail of sex, rock n’ roll and pop culture. BurningAngel.com launched in 2002 with a few sets of photos and a band interview, conceived by two amateur college kids from Rutgers, Joanna Angel and Mitch Fontaine. Since its launch, it has exploded into a fierce indie company that has pioneered a new species of erotica known as “alt porn,” with a network of websites and hundreds of DVDs to its credit. The company is revered for popularizing alternative style girls, and prides itself on delivering hardcore adult content alongside band interviews, record reviews and a community with its own social networking.

As both the star of many of BurningAngel’s movies and the company’s spokesperson and owner, Angel has stormed both mainstream and adult media. She’s appeared on the cover of every major adult magazine (AVN, Club, Hustler, Picture Magazine, Adam Film World and Xtreme, to name a few) and has been featured in many tattoo magazines as well (some include Prick, Taboo, Inked and Savage). She has been featured on Fox News, Playboy TV, Fuse TV, G4 TV, KROQ Radio, as a regular on the Jason Ellis show on SIRIUS Radio, as a guest on the 2008 series premiere of TLC’s LA Ink, and in a speaking role on Adult Swim’s Children’s Hospital. She has also appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Village Voice, The New York Press, Esquire UK, Details and Penthouse, among others. Heeb Magazine featured Angel as its cover girl, naming her one of the Top 100 Up-and-Coming Jews in 2005, The New York Post featured her as one `of the Top 25 Sexiest New Yorkers, and Playboy.com named Angel one of the 50 hottest adult stars on Instagram.

She’s also made her mark in the sex toy world, becoming a venerated Fleshlight Girl in 2013 and creating a BDSM line of toys with Stockroom. The same year, Angel made further strides into the mainstream world with a speaking role in the indie drama Scrapper. BurningAngel has brought home several awards from all the major adult shows—from AVN to XBIZ, to XRCO to YNOT. Some of its accolades include Best Porn Star Website, Best Web Premiere and Best Sex Comedy. From a college dorm room to national television, BurningAngel has made its mark in entertainment, and it’s only just beginning.
