Ustreme signs US comedy genius Scott Capurro for new weekly show

Ustreme has signed up American comedy genius, Scott Capurro, for a new weekly show to be streamed exclusively on the channel.

The hilarious comic will give his no-holds-barred opinion on the latest bonkers goings on across the pond for a new show called This Week In The US.

The show will be streamed every Thursday, starting today (Thursday, April 6)

It follows a similar format to Jim Davidson’s This Week, which sees the Ustreme founder give his own unique and outrageous take on the news from the UK.

San Francisco-born Scott is one of the most respected comedians in America – a gay icon who has appeared in Star Wars, tours to sell-out crowds around the world and is never scared of controversy with near-to-the-knuckle jokes that leave audiences in stitches.

Jim, who first met Scott at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014, said: “He is one of the few comedians around who genuinely makes me laugh.

“He’s absolutely hilarious and I have so much respect for him for daring to go where others fear to tread with his jokes.

“He’s just fantastic and we’re delighted he’s doing a weekly show for Ustreme. It’s going to be great. Don’t you worry about that.”
