I’m in London, and today I was on Richard and Judy (google them if you don’t know who they are, they’re married and have been huge on brit TV for eons), talking about gay animals. They’re both lovely, she’s quite dainty and he talks so fast I forgot to listen to what he was saying and just watched his lips fly about. They both became quite excited when making a corrolation (my spelling sucks) to gay animal behavoir, and the fact that men, when confined in prison, have sex. And Richard of course talked about female on female animal action. It was all very heated. Well, I was warm. And wondering if anyone in the world was noticing how much I was enjoying myself. I’m such a huge fan of them both, but the biggest moment for me was when Richard dismissed me by saying Americans tend to shoot their animals, gay or otherwise. We share a dislike for both guns, and dead animals I suppose. Maybe now I’m reaching. But truly, I felt after, in the green room, whilst watching them both sip wine and chat with the actually famous guest they’d had on, that I’d reached at least the C-rung on the ladder to celebrity. I mean, Richard and Judy - that’s proper media star-searching.

The Prague Fringe Festival, Second Night
May 30, 2006
6 p.m. Scott Capurro, Yankee Dog Pig
Scott Capurro is crude, rude and out of line. He’s also hilarious. There is nothing sacred in Capurro’s world. In fact, everything from Anne Frank to racial stereotypes is fair game. Even Capurro’s queerness is worth a lacerating look. Discovering at the ripe old age of 43 (“80 in gay years”) that he’s finally had sex with someone HIV-positive, Capurro can only say, “At last, I feel like a real gay man.” He’s of course not worried, as he is white, plus he takes echinacea, so…Capurro’s quick wit cuts to the quick, and woe betide anyone with a thin skin who sits in the front row, as you, my a p·novÈ, are part of the act. Actually, not everyone–only young men with good haircuts and interesting glasses (obviously gay) or women with short hair wearing casual clothes (obviously lesbian). He’s the anti-Oprah (another favorite target), interacting with his audience as part psychotherapist, part assassin. Capurro is the type of person who plans to sue his Catholic school because the priests didn’t molest him, and you feel for him. Such examples of his personal pain make you find this man with the dagger tongue endearing. Shame he only played Prague last night.
