Laughing Matters in Gay Paris Presents from San Francisco
Scott Capurro

Tuesday 31 May2016

105, faubourg du Temple Paris 10

Award winning comedian, actor and writer Scott Capurro (USA), known for his work on several UK TV programmes, including The Wright Stuff, 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Truth About Gay Animals, will be back in Paris on May 31.
He’s described by San Francisco Weekly (free press, edited by lesbians and designed by trannys with large hands and hidden agendas) as "stand-up in the very best possible sense - deadpan, ever-alert and hilarious".
Scott also appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire, where, effortlessly, he played a homosexual;
and Star Wars: Phantom Menace, where, breathlessly, he wore a body stocking.
Scott is an action figure (two headed, which is better than one, obviously) and he was banned from Australian TV for eroticizing the Christ figure. Consequently, Scott knows David Cameron (wink, wink) and Bono. Well, he met Bono once. They're both vegetarians. Actually, Scott is. Bono said he was, to impress Scott. Cameron eats anything.

"'If you thought comics like Ricky Gervais pushed boundaries then nothing will prepare you for Scott Capurro. Having won the coveted Perrier award in 1994, the San Franciscan comic has gone from strength to strength while refusing to sell out, making each show more uncompromising than the last. He is, in my opinion, the bravest and funniest comedian on the circuit.' GQ Magazine August

'Yet accept the ferocious, corrosive material in the provocative spirit it’s intended, and it is brilliantly, shockingly funny. So far beyond the pale that the only reaction IS to laugh, partly out of discomfort, partly out of the sheer audacity of it all." Chortle *****

two more nights with the outrageous
Scott Capurro

Sunday 10 & Monday 11 February 2002

What with a 13 years old boy sitting in the front row (ok going on 14 & with his dad !) on sunday plus a couple of pentecostals, the tongues Scott was talking in and about were slightly salty. Then it was Heather & Jerome's turn on monday along with the massed ranks of Alstomatos and some Dutch Anne frank fans too. They were a wild couple of nights. Some of it may well have been illegal but the chocolate karma sutra was a sweet way to end it all.
Remember as the man said "candy doesn't make people gay".
But Scott does make them laugh.
