And demanded their money back, after staying and menacing from the front row for one hour. They laughed when I used dirty words, and played along when I flirted with them, assuring me that ‘We don’t have queers in Alabama.’ I know. I sprang a woody too.
Then they waddled off politely like bitches to the box office and begged for their cash.
Why don’t retards go see strippers?
Scott Capurro Goes MUCH Deeper

Are children ever really ‘missing’? Is Obama really black? Can the homeless get any hotter? Scott is back on the road with a new show, which promises to offend you and make you laugh in equal measures. He’s a filthy and fabulous comic with more heart and intelligence than nearly any other comic on the circuit, which makes him a killer queen! Hot!

Anyone who has seen Scott Capurro live before will find it hard to suppress a wry smile on learning that his new show at Soho Theatre is entitled Goes Much Deeper. Given the charmingly uncouth, rip-roaringly camp and unflinchingly provocative nature of the San Francisco comic’s routines, the connotations are plain to see - especially when you have already witnessed Capurro flirt outrageously with a married Frenchman perched somewhat unfortunately in the front row during one of his gigs. In short, Capurro offends easily but, arguably, endearingly - although try explaining that to the Edinburgh Festival crowds who walked out following his “Holocaust Schmolocaust” quip in 2001, or the one man who he said should “die of Aids”. As he once told The Evening Standard: “I don’t give a shit about those who don’t like my work.” This may not sound like a barrel of laughs, but when Capurro gets it right - and recent evidence suggests he has calmed down somewhat from the controversial figure who was banned from Australian airwaves after being accused of “polluting minds” not so long ago - he really hits the mark. He’s come a long way since starring alongside Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire as cross-dressing “Aunt” Jack and picking up a Perrier Award the following year as best comedy newcomer, and if you watch his honest and personal show now, you’ll finally understand that Capurro does in fact go much deeper than you may have first thought.
