Overview
- The digital comedy program, which announced Thursday it was stopping all tapings and live shows, said the threats had reached an unsustainable level and that safety comes first.
- Producers pointed to an earlier attack in October 2024, when police bomb technicians from UDEX neutralized a grenade left at the venue in the Lima district of Ate.
- Performers began to leave after the notice, with comic Dayanita saying she stepped aside for security reasons and model Xiomy Kanashiro sharing a farewell to fans.
- Cast member Luigui Carbajal said the sums demanded were “quite exorbitant,” and colleagues estimate the closure cuts off income for roughly 40 to 45 families across acting, makeup, wardrobe, and crew.
- News outlets reported no public response from authorities, while noting the show’s near‑million YouTube following and describing extortion as a growing threat to entertainers and small productions in Peru.
