ABOUT
PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS
A
runaway hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Puppetry of the Penis set its
sights on world domination, playing London's West End, the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and
launching multiple companies in the United States, with one playing the John
Houseman Theatre in New York for two years, and another two touring
extensively, with sit-downs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. PUPPETRY OF THE
PENIS has been experienced by more than one million people, including
celebrities Hugh Grant, Naomi Campbell, Posh Spice, Bono and Elton John, in
more than 14 countries, including the United States, Great Britain, Australia,
Holland, Germany, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Iceland, Spain, Italy,
Switzerland and Portugal, as well as on popular television programs, including
“The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” The show has been translated into three
languages, had a “how to” book published, been played non-stop on HBO’s “Real
Sex” since 2002, and had DVD releases throughout the world.
PUPPETRY
OF THE PENIS was conceived by Simon Morley in 1996, as the title of a classy,
highbrow art calendar, showcasing 12 of his favorite penis installations. Years
before, Simon’s youngest brother had shown him his first genital trick, ‘The
Hamburger.’ Natural sibling rivalry with their two other brothers resulted in
the evolution of a healthy repertoire of genital gesticulations. It was on New
Year’s Eve in 1997, with a garage full of calendars to sell and burgeoning
requests for live demonstrations that Simon finally decided to unleash his
talent on the world.
The
natural choice of performing partner was David Friend, whose reputation as the
life of any party was quickly growing. As a young boy, Friend began his current
career in the bath and developed his skills further when he discovered beer at
university in Byron Bay. After completing his degree in computing, he returned
to Melbourne with his own highly-individual collection of hanging art.
Together, Simon and Friend became PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS. Their debut season at
the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was a huge hit and they soon
embarked on a national tour, circumnavigating Australia. This took eight
months, covered 20,000 kilometers and was captured in all its glory in the
documentary
“Tackle
Happy.”
