Peter Aguero was born and raised in Southern New Jersey and currently makes his home in Queens. He’s a Moth GrandSLAM champion, regular host of Moth shows, and an instructor for the MothSHOP community program. Fulfilling the dreams of no one, he appeared shirtless on Late Night With Conan O’Brien multiple times. He’s also the lead singer of The BTK Band – an improvised storytelling rock band that performs regularly in NYC. He hosts, produces, and performs in burlesque shows all over town, testing the patience of his long-suffering (and very beautiful) wife.
