Ranked #15 among Spotify&#8217;s most-streamed podcasts of all time, the show boasts over three million Instagram followers and millions more across YouTube and TikTok. Episodes regularly generate 1\u20133 million views across platforms, and the podcast has held Spotify&#8217;s Top Podcast award for two consecutive years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing mirrors WME&#8217;s growing appetite for media personalities across verticals, much like their recent deals with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/nicole-lapin-her-money-news-network-sign-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nicole Lapin and Her Money News Network<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/usama-siddiquee-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Usama Siddiquee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond digital, <em>La Cotorrisa<\/em> has built a substantial live touring business, selling out theaters and arenas across Mexico, the United States, and more than 12 countries throughout Europe. The podcast continues to be managed by Bryan Andrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a big validation moment for Spanish-language podcast media going fully mainstream in the U.S. entertainment industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>La Cotorrisa<\/em> isn&#8217;t just a podcast, it&#8217;s a touring brand, a digital media empire, and now a globally agented property. WME landing them signals that the agency sees real money in the Latin comedy-podcast-to-live-events pipeline, especially with a 2027 U.S. tour on the horizon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that Bryan Andrade stays on as manager while WME handles the bigger-picture agency work is a smart, structured play, it keeps continuity while opening doors to stadium deals, brand partnerships, and crossover media projects that a boutique setup simply couldn&#8217;t deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>La Cotorrisa<\/em> ranking #15 on Spotify of all time, is this the signing that puts Spanish-language podcasting on Hollywood&#8217;s A-list radar for good? Could WME&#8217;s involvement accelerate a crossover into English-language media or U.S. network television for Ricardo P\u00e9rez and Slobotzky?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexican comedian Ricardo P\u00e9rez and his La Cotorrisa co-host Jos\u00e9 Luis Slobotzky have inked a deal with WME for representation in all areas.
