Headliner
Scott Capurro
Scott, reared in San Francisco, admires his home so much that he spreads Frisco love all over the UK. He wants Britain to be Great again. Or America to be Great Britain again. Either way, Scott requires a show on Amazon because his husband wants to live in Brazil.
Background check: In Scotland, a faerie namesake whaur English is ne’er spoken, Scott wrung his mother tongue and in 1994 miraculously won the Perrier Award with his magical solo show Risk Gay, an installation/performance happening chronicling the power of wind, when, climaxing in chiffon, Scott mimed a glittering chime.
Scott developed his signature eye twitch while chasing gay sheep around Montana, where male-on-male action is limited to animal pens. I know. HAWT!
Scott has written for several newspapers including The Guardian, The Times and the Scotsman; and for various magazines like The Index on Censorship, which isn’t half as stuffy as it sounds. Kidding.
Scott regularly plays almost every comedy club in the English speaking world, including the Punchline in San Francisco, the Comedy Store in London, the Comic Strip in New York City, and Yuk Yuks in Toronto, Canada. His recent triumphant return to Australia after a 14 year ban was met with a collection of used clothing and a return ticket connecting in Guam. Insert airplane travel jokes here Stanhope.
