It was in 1999 when many first knew of a the Tough-Talking New York bred, Drag Persona of Coco Peru (Clinton Leupp) when she made a cameo in the Indie flick, 'Trick'. It was only one scene in the men's restroom with Gabriel (Christian Campbell) and it showed her true talent of being a storyteller.
This Past weekend Coco made an appearance at Seattle's ReBar (Her 4th time playing at this venue) and the audience Loved her before she even step out on the stage. Due to some technical difficulties, CoCo came out to a wild crowd and spent about 20 minutes with audience Q & A. When everything was resolved, Coco came back to the stage and started singing. Her voice was quite good and was a Broadway style and was able hold long notes especially during the Sinatra Hit, 'That's Life'.
Coco reflected on her early childhood dreams of being a stripper, why she left her beloved hometown of NYC (the neighbors were Nuts), and her summers spent on a clothing-optional beach with her husband, Rafael (he's from Spain).
It was hard to hold back tears as she told a story about her Idol, Bea Arthur and Coco's Ballsy humor and style matches of that of Bea!
Inspired by her mother Helen's advice to have the balls to say whatever the hell she feels like saying, Coco is on a quest to do just that and, in the process, make the world just a little more beautiful. Be Yourself and realize to can do anything. The audience roared with 'We Love you, Coco"!
