Scott Capurro, the wildly hilarious and wickedly controversial comedian, brings his newest standup comedy special to our stage! As a regular on Alice Radio’s Sarah & Vinnie, Cappuro has garnered a die-hard fan base of people hungry for rip-roarin’, no-holds-barred comedy. Come find out what all the raucous fun is about (and yes expect wicked and controversial no-holds barred from this deep talent)!
Jay Richardson on Chortle talks about Scott Capurro at America Stands Up, part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival:
“Established as the show’s regular compere, UK-based San Franciscan Scott Capurro is an unlikely MC, stealing focus with interludes that feel like a headliner’s routines, his playful, devilish reflections on race, religion and sexuality creating a charged, lively atmosphere that would overwhelm less assured performers trying to follow him.
That evergreen sense of mischief in his crowd interrogations, desire to probe boundaries and calculated conflation of taboos – questioning how non-gay the most religious parts of the Middle East are – is an irrepressible assault, countering the possibility of offence with the frequent shift and democracy of his targets. He slyly punches up, punches down with impunity, but mostly punches low and lingers on the crime scene, his eyes sparkling at any intakes of breath that his near-the-knuckle sex reminisces provoke.”
