On The Spot With Jessica Peru

Date
March 10th, 2024
Role
Writer / Director / Producer / Actor
On the Spot is a fabulous unscripted street game show pilot featuring Jessica Peru (John Carmel) as she roams the streets of New York City asking outrageous, out-of-pocket questions to unsuspecting strangers. Inspired by Billy on the Street, the show is vibrant and proudly rooted in queer culture. In a city known for its chaos and eccentricity, the project playfully explores how performance often goes unnoticed, how even a drag queen can fade into the background of daily commuters. Strangers were challenged with trivia questions about gay history, including how many gay icons they could name (Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Cher, etc.) or what year the Marriage Equality Act was passed nationwide. In many ways, the show doubles as a social experiment, examining how people interact with drag visibility in public spaces.
