When famous London-based stand-up comic Scott Capurro takes the stage, it's best to be prepared for a whirlwind comic journey that spells controversy with topics ranging from racism to homosexuality and religion. The 50-year-old, back in India after a two-year gap, talks shop with his mercurial wit intact, in an email interview with Ruchika Kher. Excerpts
You’re back in India after two years. Why such a long gap?
I was hoping the controversy in India surrounding gay rights and queer sex would calm down a bit. Now that I’m a married homosexual, I anticipate a certain amount of respect and admiration. After all, marriage is the most sacred of vows. I’m also studying to become an Episcopalian priest, which takes muchu00a0of my time.
