A comedian known for his sharp wit, unique delivery, and brilliant affinity for cuss words,

John Caparulo is a seasoned comic whose dry, no-nonsense Midwestern sensibility

endears him to audience members of all kinds. He began his comedy career performing

in clubs in Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the late ‘90s before coming to Hollywood to hone

his skills on stage and work the door at the legendary Comedy Store.

Caparulo's breakout performance at Montreal's Just for Laughs in 2003 led to spots on

The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy

Kimmel Live, and he appeared over 150 times as a panelist on Chelsea Handler’s

popular E! show Chelsea Lately.

His profile continued to rise with live performances on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour:

The Next Generation, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour, Ron White’s Salute To

The Troops, and the Showtime special Unsportsmanlike Comedy with Rob Gronkowski.

He voiced the character of “Headphone Joe” on Disney’s Fish Hooks, played the part of

“Brian” on the ABC sitcom Work It, was the host of Mobile Home Disaster on CMT, and

hosted numerous radio shows and podcasts on Sirius XM, All Things Comedy, and

more. He was brilliantly cast as the irritated spokesperson for Edge Shave Gel’s

nationwide “Anti-Irritation” campaign.

Comedy Central aired his 1/2 hour special in 2006 and his first full-length special, Meet

Cap, in 2008. Netflix then distributed Meet Cap, and later, Come Inside Me, in 2013. In

2014, Cap decided it was time to take a different approach to sharing his comedy with

the world. He launched a series called Caplets on Hulu, for which Cap recorded short

standup sets and released a new episode every 30 days. The concept was simple but

innovative for the time... “singles instead of albums.” Cap has continued this format for

the past decade, only pausing during the pandemic to produce Un-Capped Comedy, a

live-streaming show with the audience choosing the topics for him to improvise.

Caesars Entertainment signed Cap to a headlining residency in 2018. He and his family

moved from Calabasas, CA to Las Vegas, and he performed over 500 shows at

Harrah’s. John Caparulo’s Mad Cap Comedy ran 5 nights a week until its unexpected

demise as a result of the covid-19 shutdowns. Now he’s back on the strip headlining

exclusively at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club during the week, while touring nationally

on the weekends.

And on top of his commitments to being a great dad and a mediocre husband, Cap has

written an outlandish comic book series based on his family. Cartoon Comic is available
