Burlesque of the Heart with Vico Ortiz

Vico Ortiz sees their career as a relationship. And they're putting in the work to keep it from becoming toxic. That means pursuing projects that feel aligned with their values, invite them to hone new skills, and fulfill their spirit—like their new solo show Rise of a King. This week, they join Mo to discuss their experience writing both English and Spanish versions of the show; what they've learned from puppetry, drag, clowning, and burlesque; and where they find ease in their work. Vico's on Instagram and TikTok @puertoricaninja, and on Bluesky. Make sure to subscribe to their new Substack Thirsty Silly Goosin' with Vico Ortiz and their podcast Today In Gay.
