Sloppy Seconds with Big Dipper & Meatball

Life is a Naked Cabaret (w/ Coco Peru)

·1 hr 16 min·5 clips
Drag icon Coco Peru reveals how a Peruvian drag queen inspired her to own 100% of who she is.
The episode opens with hosts Big Dipper and Meatball introducing guest Coco Peru, a drag storyteller and icon. Coco begins by recounting the origin of her name, inspired by a Peruvian drag queen she met in the 1980s who showed her the power of authenticity in a homophobic country. She discusses early tensions with fellow drag performer Lady Bunny, including a feud over fart noises during a benefit show. Coco explains her move from New York to Los Angeles, citing a desire for a fresh start and free iced tea refills. She reflects on her identity as a drag queen versus a cabaret act, noting how being fully in drag sometimes led to being taken less seriously by straight tech crews. Coco talks about her new show 'Fuck This Shit,' inspired by anger at the world, and her evolving career as she considers slowing down. She shares a transformative story from a naturist beach in Spain, where watching a large woman rise with her husband's help taught her about body acceptance and owning one's power. Coco discusses her involvement with naturist groups like Gay Naturist International, including performing naked with a cock ring that matched her glasses. The conversation turns to modern drag, with Coco admitting she doesn't watch Drag Race much but supports local queens. She reveals her drag daughter is Kiki Ball Change and praises younger drag queens engaging in political activism. Coco recounts humorous experiences at Sundance with the film 'Girls Will Be Girls,' including being snubbed by a New York Post writer. The hosts play a game called 'SICK' (Slutty, Iconic, Chaotic, Kinky), prompting Coco to share a story about painful nipple play at New York's Bijou sex club. She discusses kink communities, spanking parties, and how exploring threesomes with her husband created intimacy. Coco mentions her upcoming role in a Golden Girls live show in San Francisco, taking over for Heklina. The episode closes with light banter about wigs, memorabilia, and future plans.
