DTH 2023 Special Guest: Miss Coco Peru

Damn These Heels is thrilled to welcome special guest, Miss Coco Peru, to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the Festival’s 20th anniversary celebration! With 33 years in the business as a working drag queen, Coco offers an evening of inspired storytelling and song followed by a moderated discussion that includes audience engagement.

Miss Coco Peru (aka Clinton Leupp) has been a household name in the LGBTQ+ community for over 30 years. Coco got her start in the early 90’s as a downtown favorite in NYC’s cabaret world. Since then, Coco has received worldwide acclaim for her award-winning solo shows and has enjoyed an expansive career in film, television, and digital work.

TV: Dead End: Paranormal Park (Netflix), Will and Grace (recurring role), How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, and two stand-up comedy specials on LOGO.
Film: Trick, To Wong Foo, and the cult classic Girls Will Be Girls.
