Short Circuit Comedy Feat SCOTT CAPURRO
Comic, actor, author
San Franciscan actor/comedian Scott Capurro has become one of the most popular faces on the UK comedy circuit. At his first appearance in the UK, the 1994 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Scott hit the ground running by winning both the PERRIER BEST NEWCOMER for his show Risk-Gay, along with the SPIRIT OF THE FRINGE award. Scott Capurros Love and Affection Tour, his 1995 Edinburgh show, was then nominated for the main PERRIER AWARD.
Since then, Scott has extensively toured the US, Australia, Europe and Canada, having performed several times at the JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL in Montreal, and comedy festivals in Melbourne, Sydney, Prague, Manchester, Kilkenny and New York City. Hes successfully played his hour to sold-out audiences at 13 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals; including his smash hit show Scott Capurro Goes Deeper in 2008, which also toured the UK extensively. Other live UK performances include the Hay Festival in 2007, which received menacing glares from cardigan wearers.
His first novel, Fowl Play, was published in September of 2000 and garnered wonderful reviews. Since then hes written for several newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, Index on Censorship, The Age, Time Out Magazine, Attitude Magazine and the San Francisco Chronicle.
In 2008, Scott returned to the legitimate theatre, and performed in the long-running hit Fucking Men, written by Joe di Pietro, which moved from Londons fringe into the West End, playing there for several months. In late 2009, Scott worked in San Francisco briefly, where he starred in David Greenspans She Stoops To Comedy at the San Francisco Playhouse. The play was adored and extended.
12 weeks each year, Scott hosts his live chat show Scott Capurros Position at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Its celebrity heavy, and a winning combination of low life and high art.
Scott is also a veteran of our TV screens. He has appeared on such shows as C4s 8 Out Of 10 Cats, BBC1s The Stand-Up Show, hosted Is That It? for MAI United, and captained a team on the Channel 4 quiz The Staying In Show.
A diverse performer, Scotts talents were also incorporated into Mrs. Doubtfire and Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace!
