Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2008 Scott Capurro Goes Deeper Description Review Comments Show Rating: 5 STARS Scott Capurro has been positively goading people to walk out of his shows – and, true enough, they’ve been leaving in their droves. It begs the question why; he’s been doing this bitter, brutally odious humour from the viewpoint […]

This review appeared in the Times for a play I’m acting in. Just thought I’d let you kids know. Come along. It’s fun.

The theatre is very intimate, it’s almost like an Edinburgh Fringe venue, which is sweet. And very warm. The UK ignores air conditioning, like it’s Black Magic. The play’s writing is good, I think, and I’m kind of loving playing this character. He’s an aging playwright using sex for approval, so the research was rough. […]

Great review from the Argos, written by someone I’m now clearly in love with, although we’ve never met. But that might be for the best. Apparently, when attracted to someone, I try FAR too hard.

Scott Capurro, Udderbelly, Brighton, May 14 By Seth Ewin Scott Capurro takes no prisoners Scott Capurro – Laughtershock Unlike Josef Fritzl, Scott Capurro takes no prisoners, however he does give the Fritzl family some abuse, along with Maddie, Anne Frank and just about any other supposed no-go area you care to mention. The US comedian […]

This just appeared in the San Francisco Guardian. I like it, it’s funny and not scary. I enjoyed this show last night, we only had 50 turn up but the weather was AWFUL and my Paul Smith trousers (new, black, gorgeous) were soaked by the time I arrived. But the crowd was mostly into it, and I did loads of new stuff; I even paid homage to Bhutto. Poor dead (CRAZY, CORRUPT but our only chance for balance) bitch. I cried all day about her death. Then I did the gay jokey dance. No wonder I’m alone. And what’s up with Catherine Tate being called a racist? How come suddenly everyone is now labeled ‘racist’, except people who actually are racist? Bush has given racism a very bad name. Comics be warned. Anyway…

COMEDY “Scott Capurro’s Dirty Gift” Scott Capurro, a gay comedian from Daly City, probably gets his inspiration elsewhere. He is a world traveler and somehow manages to make trite subjects like mothers, hotel rooms, gangs, and being heckled seem freshly funny. When Christmas — the least funny day of the year — is two days […]

So this just appeared on line. Or at least, I’ve only just read it, and it’s dated this month, so…I think it’s interesting, because it makes me sound very dangerous. I think of my act as mainstream – set up, example, punchline – but I suppose I have to take responsibility for the subjects I cover. Although, again, I talk mostly about current events and race, so really, my subjects are pretty much front page stuff. Whatever. Comedy is personal, when it’s good.

Oh, and this is lifted from Chortle.co.uk, a UK comedy website that’s favored within this biz we call show. And after some producers read this, it will be more clear why I never get work in Disney films. Enjoy. xxx Scott Capurro is brutally uncompromising in his attitude, defiantly challenging audiences to accept him for […]

Just read this on line. It’s my fault for looking myself up. I started with reading about a friend who’s a director, and before you know it, I’m googling me. This is one of the saddest Saturday nights I’ve ever spent alone. I’m in a hotel room in Toronto. I was here to do a festival, and the festival was basically cancelled. Don’t worry, I’ve been paid. Well, I’ve been handed a check. We’ll see what happens when I deposit it. If it bounces, I’ll think, well at least someone is using rubbers. I like the way the List calls me a ‘little bitch’. Sounds horny. Actually some guy was supposed to come over tonite at midnight and cum on my cotton-blend, but he never showed. Men are so fickle. I wandered through the gay village, but it’s far too cold here. Everyone walks around like it’s balmy because they’re not completely covered in snow, but my fingers were about to snap off. I had to get indoors. Not sure how they deal with this for six months, and in fact, i hear it gets colder. The leaves are nice…

This appeared in the Glasgow Herald last weekend… Among the big-name comics playing Scotland this weekend, Scott Capurro is cruder than Frank Skinner, bitchier than the Grumpy Old Women, less discreet than Alan Carr, skinnier even than Mark Watson and has corresponded with more convicted killers than Ardal O’Hanlon. Seemingly driven by spite, bitterness and […]

Wanted to add this. It’s from january, promoting my show in London at the Soho Theatre, and it was so lovely, and now that Malcolm is leaving, I thought I’d finally put it up.
