About Mike Dickinson:
Mike Dickinson is a dynamic leader in the adult entertainment industry and currently serves as Regional Manager for Pony Clubs, the premier strip club group often referred to as “the New York Yankees of strip clubs.” A Richmond, Virginia native, Dickinson was inspired by the film The People vs. Larry Flynt while still in high school. On the same day he earned his PhD in Public Policy from DCU, he walked into a job interview at a local bar and boldly declared his ambition to dominate the world of strip clubs. That night, he began working as a DJ.
He entered the industry at age 18 at The Candy Bar in Richmond and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a manager within weeks. Over the next 15 years, he owned and operated multiple clubs throughout the Richmond area, mastering the business of creating memorable experiences and connecting with people from all walks of life. In 2020, seeking his next challenge, Dickinson partnered with industry veteran Jerry Westlin to help expand Pony Clubs into Tennessee. What began as a single club in a small market has grown into a thriving regional operation under his leadership.
Known for his relentless drive, creativity, and ability to juggle multiple high-level projects, Dickinson is passionate about delivering exceptional value to guests through smart marketing, headline-grabbing events, and genuine human interaction, something he believes no digital platform can ever replace.
