Dirty Little Secret Live! debuted at AVN in 2025, packed Skybox with performers, creators and industry insiders and has since grown into a recurring live showcase.
Ryan Pownall’s podcast “Pillow Talk” returns to 2026 AVN Week with Dirty Little Secret Live!, the official 2026 AVN Kick-Off Party, on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 9 p.m. at 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 celebrity judges dissect each confession and crown a winner.
This year’s celebrity judge panel features adult stars Alina Lopez and Kazumi alongside standup comic and “2 Goons” podcast host Che Durena.
“The energy in that room at this show is the greatest I’ve ever felt,” said Pownall. “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 said, “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.”
Kazumi said, “You wanna know where the cool kids are at AVN? The answer’s always been obvious: at ‘Pillow Talk’ Ryan’s Dirty Little Secrets Live! show. There’s no other place to be!”
Dirty Little Secret Live! debuted at AVN in 2025, packed Skybox with performers, creators and industry insiders and has since grown into a recurring live showcase under the “Pillow Talk” banner.
“Pillow Talk” delivers more than 300 million quarterly views and a combined social media following of more than 5 million.
