STRIP CLUB KING - Loved..Admired..Hated!!!
Charismatic to some and revolting to others. Joe Redner is most often associated with owning one of the most famous nude
clubs in America, the Mons Venus.
Joe Redner and the Mons Venus came into the national spotlight in 2000 when Tampa's City Council, with support from Mayor Dick Greco, tried to ban lap dancing. The city ordinance passed, but not without an explosive fight
that made national headlines with feature stories on ABC's "20/20" and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show".
Joe Redner has been called a pimp, pervert, patriot, philanderer, politician,
instigator, intellectual, self- promoter, humanitarian, hypocrite,
publicity hound, pig, exploiter, criminal, narcissist, hero and
genius.

friends, and foes, this documentary explores the many facets of
the Strip club King, Joe Redner, not just what you have seen on the TV and in newspapers.
Whether you love him or hate him you will want to watch him every
