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 his live 

performances on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Next 

Generation, as well as Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy 

Tour. He hosted Mobile Home Disaster on CMT, played 

the part of “Brian” on the ABC sitcom Work It, hosted a 

radio show on Sirius XM, voiced the character of 

“Headphone Joe” on Disney’s Fish Hooks, and was a part 

of the Showtime special Unsportsmanlike Comedy with 

Rob Gronkowski.

In 2008, Caparulo's first full-length special, John Caparulo: 

Meet Cap premiered on Comedy Central. His second 

special, Come Inside Me, was released on Netflix in 2013.

In 2018, Cap settled down in Las Vegas and performed 

almost 500 shows during a 2-year residency 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
