Issue #5: The Cunt Awards 2021

At Capers, we think it is important to be kind to our fellow humans as often as possible. However, with nothing but kindness in the world there comes an imbalance – niceness will only get you so far. Therefore, for the yin to match its yang, it is equally as important to call a cunt a cunt if they’re being a cunt.
This issue of Capers Magazine is dedicated to the cunts of Britain, acknowledging their existence, and refraining from a counterproductive cancellation culture which will only push the cunts underground and create a hidden society of super cunts! (It could happen.) With that terrifying conspiratorial prospect in mind, we bring you…

Issue #4: The Musical Comedy Edition

When musical comedy is done well, there is not many powerful art forms for direct interactions with our senses. The musical element, particularly, attacks the ear drum, which leads directly to the brain box and fills it with vibrational frequencies that play tremelo on our emotions – our LAUGHTER emotions! In this months issue of Capers Magazine, we focus intensely on those comedy things that come in our ears and vibrate inside, bringing us off to a crescendo and its resulting ejaculation of LAUGHTER all over the place.
One of the finest musical comedians working in Britain today is Jazz Emu. We spoke to Jazz in a very entertaining interview below, and we collected some of our favourite of his pieces in one easily accessible document – also below.
Also in this issue, we talk to Amy Webber, ‘Audience Favourite’ winner at the Musical Comedy Awards; Capers’ lifestyle guru, Valentina Valentino, takes you through a music therapy session in her new video; and the team brings you various other bits and pieces about musical comedy, comedy music, comedy in music and music in comedies.
Our New Look: Orange Is the New Capers
You may have noticed that our website has undergone some cosmetic surgery since the last issue. Gone is the handwritten, pink and silly aesthetic, replaced by a more mature but equally as fun and vibrant orange with classic font. The internet says “Orange is associated with meanings of joy, warmth, heat, sunshine, enthusiasm, creativity, success, encouragement, change, determination, health, stimulation, happiness, fun, enjoyment, balance, sexuality, freedom, expression, and fascination.” – pretty much all the things that Capers represents, so…
Let us know how you feel about the new look.
