Robotín Says Three-Year U.S. Work Visa Has Him Earning Up to $200 on Las Vegas Streets

He credits a Peruvian promoter for handling the paperwork for his showman visa.

Overview

  • In new interviews, the Peruvian comedian said his work authorization was approved in June after a process that began about a year earlier.
  • He reported making roughly $150 to $200 for one to two hours performing his street statue act in Las Vegas.
  • He said the visa lists him as a showman and allows him to perform in public spaces and venues.
  • Contrasting his experience, he said local security in Lima used to remove him from Jirón de la Unión, while police in Las Vegas let him work.
  • He plans to return to Peru in November for engagements and then go back to the United States in January or February for a longer stay.
