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 featured adult stars Alina Lopez and Kazumi alongside stand-up comic and 2 Goons podcast host, Che Durena.
When not dancing to the energetic music, everything was extraordinary orderly for this mixed-venue event.
The lower level, in seats reserved by wristbands and filled to a totally packed assortment of adult industry leaders, shakers, stars, and paparazzi also held, on a slightly elevated platform, the panel of celebrity judges and others throughout the evening The second level, afforded everyone else attending an excellent view of the festivities and still remained close to the stage.
The audience was warmly receptive to the event. Various stars and personalities found themselves confiding intimate confessions on stage, often with hilarious industry and personal tales that everyone in the industry, and fans, could relate to. As stories were told, this both humanized their short revelations and made for a very relaxing and fun night.
This also gave attendees an opportunity to relax from the energized activities at the Expo and recharge their juices for the remaining three days by reaping the benefits of laughter and relaxation provided in abundance by the show.
One regular attendee of events of this nature summed up the evening quite well. “The Pillow Talk parties are a lot of fun because they are very chill, very relaxed, and everyone is having fun. Look around. The cream of the crop of the business is here—in front of the camera, behind the camera, around the camera, everybody is here—and they are having a great time.”
