Capri gained fame as one of the stars of the hit revue 'Catskills on Broadway' in the 1990s. He was known for his rapid-fire one-liners and self-deprecating jokes, often laced with Yiddishisms. Capri continued to perform in the show even after it went on the road. He was also a regular roaster at the Friars Club in Manhattan and had a long comedy career that included opening for singers like Engelbert Humperdinck and Tom Jones.
