Coco Drag Queen Jesus Peru sets out to save the Ugly world

Examiner.com – by Chad Jones, S.F. Theater Examiner

Clinton Leupp doesn’t pretend to be a girl. He’s a man in a dress with a drag alter-ego named Coco Peru. He’s very much a man and very much Coco – two personalities for the price of one. Now that’s value for your entertainment dollar in this economically unsteady world.

Leupp brought Coco to the Bay Area three years ago and performed “Miss Coco Peru Is Undaunted” at the New Conservatory Theatre. Now he’s making his Rrazz Room debut in “Ugly Coco,” which opened Wednesday, Oct. 15 and continues through Nov. 2 in the posh cabaret venue.
