When Ari Met Nana: Lessons in Love, Power, and Submission

I've been drawn to kink and female domination for as long as I can remember—but for most of my life, I was too scared and ashamed to explore those desires.

That started to change about four years ago, when I first stepped into the world of BDSM. Since then, I've become an erotica writer, and most recently, a stand-up comedian. Each step has been a leap outside my comfort zone—and each leap has taught me something new about desire, fear, freedom, and yes, safe words.

In this solo show, When Ari Met Nana, I use humor and storytelling to share what I’ve learned along the way. My hope is that by laughing at my messes and mishaps, you’ll feel more empowered to explore your own desires—whether that’s kink, creativity, or just being brave enough to be yourself.

In this show, you will hear:

• How the Covid-19 pandemic was a blessing in disguise, helping to put me in the place where I could experience BDSM for the first time

• How I engineered a Tinder profile that attracted dominant women

  • See the exact photos I used and my conversation with Queen Nana!

• Why dating your landlady has its benefits

• Why government actions are much more obscene than erotica and SM play

• Why anything fun must be dangerous

• How Nana and I use roleplay to spice up our love life

• Hear true stories of Nana’s kinky play with me

• Hear how Nana inspired (nay, demanded) me to write erotica

• How to find toys in Thailand (or whatever country you live in)

• Is it true that “Childhood is our basic training for power tactics?”

• Ari’s trademark dark and direct comedic style

• All this and more in Ari’s 46-minute comedy and storytelling show
