Desde Gayola
Desde Gayola (transl. From Nosebleed Section) is a Mexican LGBT-related late-night sketch comedy variety show created by Horacio Villalobos. The show premiered on Telehit in February 2002 as a sketch into the variety show Válvula de Escape. The show revolves around a series of parodies about Mexican culture, sexuality and politics, performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members.
The TV show followed a format similar to Saturday Night Live with each episode approximately 25 minutes in length and containing an average of five sketches per episode. The show featured a cast and crew that included several gay, transgender, and drag queen performers.
In Mexican Spanish, gayola refers to the uppermost section of a theater, where the cheapest tickets are sold and the view is obstructed. It is comparable to the English term "the nosebleed section"—seats that are so high and far from the stage that they offer a less-than-ideal experience.
Interestingly, as Villalobos explains, "La Gayola" was originally the area where theater critics sat to evaluate performances. For us, Desde Gayola symbolizes that same critical vantage point—a place from which we analyze and critique political, social, religious, and entertainment realities.
The format of the show was inspired by the American TV show Saturday Night Live of NBC. The cast includes actors of diverse gender identities.
The show began airing in November 2001 as a sketch on the Válvula de Escape show, hosted and produced by Horacio Villalobos on Telehit. Since February 2002, the show was scheduled for the Friday at 3:00 pm slot.
In its firsts seasons, from 2002 to 2003, the show had a more modest list of characters, highlighting the transgender actress Alejandra Bogue, transgender actress Daniel Vives "Ego", Dario T. Pie and Francis García, as well Villalobos himself. Since 2003, more actors began to be integrated into more sketches, highlighting Carlos Rangel "La Maniguis", Gerardo Gallardo, Javier Yepes, Mauricio Barcelata, Miguel Romero and others.
The musical opening was Dulce Amor by Ana Martín, extracted from the Mexican telenovela Gabriel y Gabriela. Horacio Villalobos welcomed the audience and presented the sketches of the program. These sketches, of some which stood out were Tesoreando con La Tesorito, La Roña, Las Aventuras de La Supermana, El Mundo de Maniguis, Las Chicas V.I.P., Panal-Gastronómico, La Charla Ecclesiastica, Joterías con Ligia, Mirosnada, una historia real, El Rincón de Pita Amor, TVChurros, Las Aventuras de Dieguito Gardel Lamarque, Las Menopausicas and others.
