By popular demand, Eroticly Yours returns to Tolhuistuin with another Erotic Poetry Night: an evening designed to awaken the senses through poetry, storytelling, music, and performance art, all centered around the erotic.
From tender to explicit, from fantasy to the everyday, from toys and self-pleasure to burning desire, from dates gone wrong (or wonderfully right), to erotic fashion, kink, fetishes, and slow kisses – the world of the erotic is as rich as it is diverse. Guests are invited to come alone, with friends, or with a date, and experience performances by a wide range of local and international artists offering their unique take on what erotica can mean.
Paradiso and the organizers believe artists deserve fair pay, and that art should remain accessible. A limited number of solidarity tickets are available for those who wish to attend but cannot currently afford a ticket. These can be requested, no questions asked, by emailing [email protected].

Crystal Tassels
Crystal Tassels is an international burlesque singer and cabaret performer based in Berlin who’s been stripping around the world since 2011. Crystal is a true multitalent: dancing, singing, songwriting, emceeing, and producing events in Europe and the USA. Her interactive productions combine traditional burlesque with science fiction, storytelling, and kinky, bewitching experiences. She is also a professional tarot reader, ritual facilitator, and producer of dreamy electronic pop music. Give her a microphone and she will probably meow at you, too.
Siard Klynstra
"My name is Siard Klynstra, and I'm a 29-year-old Dutch-Polish poet and barista. Next to my undying love for anything coffee, I'm deeply in love with poetry! I'm a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic (though I'd argue there's nothing hopeless about romance at all). I've been writing poetry for just over a year and a half, and I rarely read other poets' work. Not because I don't want to, but because this gives me a certain freedom, my poetry flows unburdened, shaped purely by instinct and feeling rather than anything else. I love poetry that's raw, instinctive, and driven purely by feeling. Love, romance, and sex aren't just themes for me, they're my whole poetic universe. For me, words are powerful tools for expression and processing, and I channel that power into my poetry, I like to celebrate this vulnerability and intimacy of being someone who's always loved being in love."
Sydney Lowell
Born as Sydney Lowell, the creative spirit and wordsmith uses her rhythmic poetry to tell stories that move. Her tongue is as sharp as it is sweet, as meditative as it is exuberant, with a presence that feels both soulful and refreshing. Amsterdam-born and raised, she is active as a poet, performing and recording artist, voice actor and host. She is also the co-founder and producer of the creative platform We The People Amsterdam.
O.L. Trethyn
O.L. Trethyn is a speculative fiction writer and performer known for their blend of dry humour and dreamlike lyricism. Their work threads mythic and magical elements into stories about memory, cruelty and femininity.
How to get to Tolhuistuin
Tolhuistuin (formerly Paradiso Noord) is located at IJpromenade 2 in Amsterdam North. A free ferry runs from Amsterdam Central Station to Buiksloterweg. From there, turn left and you’ll walk straight into Tolhuistuin. For club nights, the rear entrance (Buiksloterweg 5C) is used. This entrance can be reached via Overhoeksplein
Restaurant
Tolhuistuin also has a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal before the show. We recommend making a reservation in advance via this website.
