Dick Capri, a Catskills comic known for his performances at summer resorts in the Catskill Mountains, has died at the age of 93. 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.
