Born Richard Crupi in Reading, Pa., Capri went on to work with such legendary performers as Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli and Tom Jones. In the early '70s, he toured with Engelbert Humperdinck, playing multiple Vegas venues and Radio City Music Hall.
According to his official website, Capri's first experiences with comedy came when he worked at his father's grocery store and performed for customers. After he "ran out of characters there," he "left the store to become a full-fledged impressionist and developed the unique comedic style that has become his trademark."
In 1991, he made his Broadway debut in Catskills on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater. The show played on Broadway for over a year before going on to tour nationally. He performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and George Bush and appeared in The NY Friars Club Roast of Drew Carey on Comedy Central in 1998.
