Scott Capurro: Live in Lisbon!
Irreverent, uncensored, unhinged, sassy, in a class of his own. Not for the faint of heart.
About This Show
Scott Capurro is coming to Republic of Comedy and honestly, we're a little nervous. Not because he's not funny — oh, he's devastatingly funny — but because he's the kind of comedian who makes the rest of us look like they're performing at a corporate team-building retreat.
The San Francisco legend has been gleefully obliterating boundaries since winning the prestigious Perrier Award at Edinburgh in 1994, and he hasn't apologized once. (We checked.) His comedy dives headfirst into politics, gay life, race, and everything else you've been told not to discuss at dinner parties. If you thought Ricky Gervais was edgy, that's adorable.
Scott has headlined The Comedy Store in London, The Punchline in San Francisco, and basically every English-speaking comedy venue that has the guts to book him.
About Scott Capurro
Scott Capurro was reared in San Francisco. At age 3, he swam the English Channel. Since 1993, he’s avoided AIDS by telling unsavory jokes in every English speaking country. Scott is trusting and thus surrounded by duplicity, yet he continues challenging himself, because he’s physically challenged and emotionally unavailable, aka married.
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”. The Daily Mirror said “he’s evil and should be forced to leave the country”.
Scott has appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire, where, effortlessly, he played a homosexual; and Star Wars: Phantom Menace, where, breathlessly, he wore a body stocking. A gay designer who sports two heads might’ve been a predictable sequel; instead Scott waddled off to the UK, in search of a compassionate, creative culture.
Disappointed and slightly bloated, Scott spends hours each day playing classical piano, conversing in French and managing his meds. He knows (wink, wink) several death row inmates and George Clooney. Well, he met George once. They’re both vegetarians. Actually, Scott is. Clooney said he was, to impress Scott. Guys on death row eat anything.
Is this show for everyone? Absolutely not. Is it for you? Only one way to find out.

What People Say
"Great spot to listen to some English language comedy. The owner and host is very interactive and funny. Love the place and will definitely be back. And highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of stand up."
"Great comedy club, intimate, and highly entertaining. This Lisbon gem should be a staple of the nightlife as it is a fantastic venue and the artists have been very good on our visits. Highly recommend!"
"I had loads of fun at their Friday night show. The venue is very cool, ran by and for comedians. This is a no brainer if you are solo travelling as the bar staff look after you and comedy is a great ice breaker when meeting people."
"I have been here twice now, and really enjoyed the experience both times. If you are looking for diverse, multicultural comedy all in English in Lisbon, this is the place! There is also a secretive speakeasy vibe to the bar and its entrance which is a really nice touch."
