Storyteller/monologist Miss Coco Peru aka Clinton Leupp grew up in the Bronx on City Island and got his/her start as a downtown favorite in the cabaret world of NYC after he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his first show "Miss Coco Peru in My Goddamn Cabaret" in the early 90's. On screen, Miss Coco is best known for her roles in Jim Fall's trick (Sundance 1999) and Richard Day's comedy Girls Will Be Girls. Other film appearances include To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar and Straight-Jacket. Coco can be heard in the Disney animated feature, The Wild as Mamma Hippo! She soon begins shooting the highly-ish anticipated sequel to Girls Will Be Girls. Coco has appeared on TV in Arrested Development, Twins, Will and Grace, Bravo's Boy Meets Boy, Bravo's Sexiest Moments in Film, Bravo's Welcome to the Parker, and in an Orbitz commercial that was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. On MTV's Gay network, LOGO, Coco can currently be seen in her very own half-hour comedy special taped as part of the "Wisecrack" series and in the recently released: One Night Stand-Up - DRAGTASTIC. In October, she was seen in a cameo role on CBS's How I Met Your Mother as a Drag Queen Prostitute. Dreams do come true. Next up, Coco will be seen on ABC's Detroit 167 as, guess what? A bitter, aging drag queen.
