The Mandy Awards received a lot of praise at this year’s BSM Summit. It wasn’t just people that work at ESPN Los Angeles singing the event’s praises either. Jason Barrett called it one of the best radio promotions of the year.
That warm reception is part of the reason why it is coming back. The station announced on Tuesday that Mandy Awards II is set for June 10th.
Steve Mason described the event as “brilliant,” noting that “We invented an awards show where we give awards to ourselves and charge for admission.”
Last year’s big winner was Scott Kaplan, who took home three awards on his own including Best Look, Best Host, and Man of the People. Sedano and Kap also was awarded the Pain in the Ass Award by program director Amanda Brown. Steve Mason was a close runner-up, taking home two Mandy Awards (Craziest Host and Diva of the Year) as well as being a part of Mason & Ireland , which won Show of the Year.
Commerce Casino will host the 2023 Mandy Awards. Tickets go on sale next Tuesday, April 18.
