LOS ANGELES—Ryan Pownall’s Pillow Talk podcast returns to AVN Week with Dirty Little Secret Live!, the official AVN Kick-Off Party, taking place January 21 at 9 p.m. inside Skybox at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
Hosted by Pownall, Dirty Little Secret Live! is an interactive comedy sex show where audience members take the stage to share their wildest and most outrageous sex stories as a panel of celebrity judges dissects each confession and crowns a winner.
This year’s celebrity judge panel features adult stars Alina Lopez and Kazumi alongside stand-up comic and 2 Goons podcast host, Che Durena.
“The energy in that room at this show is the greatest I’ve ever felt,” Pownall said. “I mean, where else will you ever see the world’s top 500 adult stars in one comedy room laughing together? I seriously think last year’s ‘DLS AVN Kick-Off Party’ was the best party or event Pillow Talk has ever done. And that was our rookie season! Wait till this year.”
Pillow Talk COO Liam Riley enthused, “This is going to be our best show yet! The Golden Globes and Oscars have opening parties, but nothing compares to opening night at the AVNs! Come celebrate all your favorite nominated stars as they share their most intimate confessions on stage.”
Lopez said of the event, “The AVN Awards fantasy—I’m here for the confessions that prove it’s not acting.”
Kazumi remarked, “You wanna know where the cool kids are at during AVN? The answer’s always been obvious: at Pillow Talk Ryan’s Dirty Little Secrets Live! show. There’s no other place to be!”
Durena added, “It’s my first AVN—gotta pop the cherry at Ryan’s Dirty Little Secret show.”
Dirty Little Secret Live! debuted at AVN in 2025, packing Skybox with performers, creators, and industry insiders, and has since grown into a recurring live showcase under the Pillow Talk banner.
