Cape Town is HOT!
So i finally got here, after the most nightmarish trip of my life. KLM demanded the passengers arrive at heathrow 2 hours before the departing flight, which left for Amsterdam at 6:30 am. Unfortunately, the ticket counters at H’row don’t open until 5 am. Yummy. Sitting in a cold airport, exhausted and hungry, I wondered […]
The Scotsgay review, which is (5 Stars) really lovely.
The Stand 2 ***** If you haven’t seen this show yet, go now before he books out! Capurro is highly offensive in the extreme, and offers no apologies as he jokes about AIDS, cancer, the Holocaust and battered women. He claims to not read the newspapers because they’re not about him, but his political satire […]
Still going on and on, but finally consistenly enjoying myself.
So Kate Copstick came and saw my show, and it was a very fun night. i like Kate’s enthusiasm about the festival; and i felt, when she was there, like i should try and do the show the way i wanted to do it. All throughout the festival, I’ve wanted the audience to be playful, […]
Another great review, this time in the Scotsman. I’m such a gem…
Scott Capurro **** KATE COPSTICK THE STAND (VENUE 5) WELL, now I have seen everything. After this show I watched Scott Capurro – the man who makes sulphuric acid look like Oil of Olay – stand upstairs in The Stand, shaking hands with his entire audience of mainly middle-aged, upper middle class, Scottish-conservative, straight folk […]
Letterman’s Posse and Pace
So i showcased for the Letterman folk last night at the Gilded Balloon. Wasn’t sure if I should go totally clean, or try to be a bit riske, or, actually, just do what I think is funny. I think I combined all three. The word ‘nigger’ slipped in. Ooops. And I think I said ‘dicksmoker’. […]
midway blues, sort of.
Day whatever, I’m here in Edinburgh, still, and I’m wondering what I want to do with my show. I love it, and the audiences have been fine, I’m selling out with very few reviews which is what I told myself I wanted. But now of course I’d like to be reviewed, by someone smart who […]
Scott Capurro, Edinburgh Fringe, 2006: THE LIST Review, 4 Stars – He’s still got it…
Scott Capurro – Comedy Watching Scott Capurro do stand-up is like taking a ride down a huge brae on a rickety old go-cart. It’s often exhilarating, but you’re not quite sure if it’ll end in disaster. The manic San Franciscan delivers his material at breakneck speed, rapidly self-editing as he goes, and tailoring his material […]
The Stage made me a “must see” cuz i’m so, i dunno, good i guess.
Scott Capurro – Yankee Dog-Pig The Stand When Scott Capurro opens with the innocent line “Have you read the Qur’an?” you have two choices – run for the hills or sit back, enjoy and be damned for all time. Mind you, as a beleaguered (mainly by lesbians) gay man, Capurro’s a great believer in equal […]
Another opening, another fucking show
So my flatmate here in Edinburgh was just saying she wants to go home now, she’s done 3 previews of her comedy show and she feels like she’s made her point. I reassured her: You’ve only got 22 more to go, so relax. Pace yourself. She’s edited her show everyday, changed a bit here and […]
