Tila Maria Sesto brings Cultural Comedy to San Pedro

Comedy at its best was presented on Friday, May 1st at the Angel Nuñez Auditorium, during the first ever Tila Maria Sesto Show. Many island residents came out for the comedy show presented by Proud Mestizo Promotions. The main attraction of the night, Tila Maria Sesto, is an iconic comedian from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico that shows the struggles faced by Yucateca women in modern society. Paired with cold drinks and good food, the night was a huge success.
Proud Mestizo Promotions is a private company dedicated to promoting the Mestizo culture in Belize. The aim is to document the experiences and knowledge of the culture before it is lost. The Tila Maria show was the perfect opportunity to teach the modern society about the Mestizo culture while having a fun time.
The show started a little after 9:30PM, but the crowd arrived early to get a good seat. VIP seating with table service was available for an increased price. Those in attendance laughed the night away at Tila Maria’s antics and jokes. It was an adult show with explicit language, mostly in Spanish. The aim of the show was to remind the community that Yucatec Maya is the mother culture of the Mestizo. During intermission breaks, the audience enjoyed performances by the San Pedro Dance Academy and Natalie Arceo. The dinner-style show also featured traditional dishes prepared by local cooks.
Monies raised in admission fees will go towards research carried out by Proud Mestizo Productions, while funds raised from food and drink sales benefited persons seeking medical funds, as well as the San Pedro Cancer Society.
Event organizers would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy the show. Special thanks goes out to the San Pedro House of Culture, Tropic Air, The San Pedro Sun and Ambergris Today for their help in promoting the event.
