Career
His comedy material is deliberately provocative, referring often to gay life and culture, politics, race and racism, and popular culture. "I don"t give a shit about those who don"t like my work," he snaps. My work is for a discerning audience who don"t have knee-jerk responses."
In 1994, he was awarded the Perrier Award for best newcomer, at the Edinburgh Festival.
In 2001, Capurro appeared on Australian show Rove Live and shocked the host, Rove McManus, with an explicit routine.
His material was no more bawdy than usual. Rove apologized immediately after the performance.
In 2002, he presented a light-hearted documentary on the United Kingdom"s Channel 4 called The Truth About Gay Animals which examined the subject of homosexuality in animals. Capurro visited various collections of captive animals to observe animals which had been reported to exhibit homosexual behaviour, and interviewed the staff about this.
The show also included an interview with anti-gay rights campaigner Baroness Young, where Capurro showed Young a video of a variety of male-male intercourse and female-female mating attempts in various animal species, and then asked her to comment on whether this influenced her views about its "unnaturalness".
Capurro has been a frequent guest on the Sarah & Vinnie"s Morning Show of Radio Alice 97.3FM KLLC San Francisco. Capurro is managed by comedy agency The Comedy Bar. From May to June 2008, he acted the role of Sammy in Joe DiPietro"s play Fucking Men in London, England.
