🎤 PERU FLORES: HANDLE WITH CARE 🖤
A super serious comedy show by NYT-featured comedian and actor Peru Flores, about unfulfilled dreams, sexual liberation, and perhaps a little self-reflection in roughly one hour. Expect crowd work, raunchy topics, and some heartfelt moments. OH, and bad singing.
Time & Location
Nov 05, 2026, 9:00 PM – 10:00 PM
The Rat NYC, 68-117 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA
About the event
New York Times featured comedian and actor Peru Flores was supposed to be a singing sensation…until he realized he was not a good singer. Does that really stop anybody, though? Reality stars are making their Broadway debuts, former TikTok stars are performing at Coachella, and yet Peru is still trying any version of himself that will get him his “moment.”
Could people’s perception of him change once they find out how he really sees himself? As a gay performer? As a hyper-sexual Latino? As a *gasp* waiter at a restaurant? Could that be the key to pop stardom and world fame?!?! BEING YOURSELF???!!!!
Through storytelling, crowd work, and yes, some singing (?) he will unpack the downfalls of being perceived, the reality of dreaming big, and the beauty of just letting go (and f*****g a lot).
