This week Daniel and I sat down with the legendary Coco Peru in Stowe and, girl, I was positively giddy.

I was first introduced to Coco in the truly seminal gay film Trick  and have been a huge fan ever since.

And let me tell you she is everything you think she is and more!  Coco glides in, perfectly composed, and immediately starts dropping wisdom like a glamorous life coach who’s survived both Fire Island and Provincetown.

We talk about Trick of course, Fire Island and how she met her Spanish husband there 30 years ago , the unique “trauma” of P‑Town travel, getting pelted with beads during a parade, and what happens when a gay crowd decides to get… spicy.

She breaks down the art of commanding a room, controlling your mic, and giving ski‑week gays something to laugh at without losing your soul.

She’s sharp.
She’s hilarious.
It’s deeply self-aware.

She’s brutally honest (as only Coco can be). 

It’s very “I’ve been doing this longer than you’ve been moisturising.”

And this is only Part 1 of 2, people.

Part 2? Even gayer.
