SCOTT CAPURRO | Outrageously funny stand-up
"Enthralling... electric ... deliciously catty" GUARDIAN
Camp and outrageous, provocative and controversial, catty and hysterical, Scott Capurro is a breath of fresh air in the increasingly samey and stale world of stand-up .Constantly operating on the boundaries of good taste and often straying some way over the line, Scott is a challenging comedian in the best sense of the word. He is so comfortable dealing with topics that other comics would never touch that he forces audiences to ask themselves why they should feel so uncomfortable about some of his subject matter. Yet despite this approach or perhaps even because of it , Scott has established himself as one of the most popular faces in the UK comedy circuit.
"Breathtaking... incandescently witty" SCOTSMAN
Since his award-winning solo debut at the 1994 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Capurro has become a regular Fringe favourite. Constantly seeking to challenge himself as well as his audience, he has since returned with several solo Fringe shows and experimented with a variety of forms and styles, including his dark 1998 one-man play, Brian Souffle, and his infamous 2001 collaboration with John Cardone, Fucking Our Fathers.
Scott is a veteran of our TV screens - he has appeared on The Stand-Up Show, Kings of Comedy, 8 out of 10 Cats, as well as in Star Wars and Mrs. Doubtfire.
