"Scott Capurro, who Arthur Smith called ‘the epitome of waspishness’, lived up to his epithet like a hornet at picnic." Chortle
"This is as confrontational as comedy gets. One routine, replaying the imagined aggressive bedroom behavior of black men, even had this heard-it-all hack feeling queasy. Strictly for strong stomachs." Evening Standard
"The most fearless and technically perfect stand up on the circuit." The Guardian, August, 2005
"Brilliantly outrageous." The Scotsman, August, 2005
"Rude, hilarious and endearing. Shame he only played Prague for one night." The Prague Post, June, 2006
"He had me sweating and he only grew funnier throughout his segment, especially because of his devil-may-care nonchalance." Cape Town Times, September, 2006
"Capurro still rushes in where most straight comedians would be terrified to tread" The Scotsman, August 2006
"He is sleeker and wittier than ever before and there can be few comics who make an art of insulting their audience while simultaneously seducing them. A MUST SEE!" The Stage, August, 2006
"Capurro 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 is so up to date that it’s clear this man does his research...his audience interaction was hilarious!" Scotsgay, August 2006
"It's like watching a car accident." Rove McManus, diminutive Australian talk show host
"We were embarrassed by his disrespect and self-loathing." LGBT Centre, San Jose, Ca.
"He's evil and should be forced to leave the country." The Daily Mirror
Comic. Actor. Author. Playwright.
Scott Capurro was reared in Daly City, California; at age 3, he swam the English Channel; and since 1993, he's told unsavory jokes in every English speaking country, so he's surrounded by duplicity. Yet he keeps challenging himself, because he's physically challenged and emotionally unavailable. Described by San Francisco Weekly (free press, run by lesbians and trannys with large hands) as "stand-up in the very best possible sense - deadpan, ever-alert and hilarious", Scott has appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire, where, effortlessly, he played a homosexual; and Star Wars; Phantom Menace, where, breathlessly, he wore rubber.
Scott knows Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela. Well, he's met Nelson once. They're both vegetarians. Actually, Nelson is. Scott said he was, to impress Nelson.
