Scott Capurro

In 1994, Capurro was awarded the Perrier Award for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival.

In 1999, Capurro played the voice of Beed Annodue along with actor, comedian, and friend Greg Proops in Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace.

In 2001, Capurro appeared on Australian show Rove Live and shocked the host, Rove McManus, with an explicit routine. McManus apologized immediately after the performance.

In 2002, Capurro presented a light-hearted documentary on the UK'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 and politician, Janet 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. He was also a regular panelist on the topical discussion series The Wright Stuff, hosted by his friend Matthew Wright.

Capurro is managed by comedy agency The Comedy Bar.

From May to June 2008, Capurro acted the role of Sammy in Joe DiPietro's play Fucking Men in London, England.

On the reaction to his work, Capurro said:

"I don't give a shit about those who don't like my work. I'm never going to win them over anyway, so why bother? My work is for a discerning audience who don't have knee-jerk responses."
