I don't quite know how to present this. I saw these two guys on a daytime talk show yesterday and nearly fell out of my chair. Caution: put your food and drink down now or you'll laugh it all over your screen!

It's a comedy act that started in Melbourne, it's a show, it toured OZ, it toured the UK, it's a video, and now it's landed Off-Broadway: Puppetry of the Penis! You think I'm kidding?

Not for the prudish or faint of heart, adult but non-sexual, here's the most discreet account I could find. But if you put 'P of P' into Google the first ten hits (of 16,000!) give you plenty of fun stuff to peruse, including their HomePage (if you dare! . http://www.curtainup.com/puppetryofthepenis.html

What're they drinkin' down up in Australia these days!!? And we thought the muskstick was amazing!

These guys put on a TWO HOUR stage show!! Man are they hung too. I haven't seen them live, but one "attenuated" (ie early evening TV suitable) glimpse I got was "The Loch Ness Monster". (Appendage gripped behind the head with thumb and forefinger and pulled up to form a long neck and head). They are also famous for their "Big Mac" - a complicated manoevre involving all external bits, a degree of folding and so on - resembles the "Hot Dog in a Bun".

My sister (not prim - just like bro) took her friend (very prim) to see the show. The two of them just about had to be carried out - they'd laughed themselves beyond the point of being able to stand.

Get to see these guys if they tour.

'parently they soak things in bowls of ice water after each show to (ahem) remove the swelling.

I think that's marketing hype. The boys simply refer to their show as "dick tricks".

> Two hours ?!

Fortunately, I only saw them live for a fifteen minute slot as part of the Stonewall Charity Benefit at last year's Edinburgh Fringe. The video camera link up to a big screen really helped them ... er ... project, given the size of the venue. I particularly liked their "hamburger in a bun" body sculpture, it put me off both food and sex at the same time. It struck me as the kind of humour that only a true Aussie could carry off.

I find myself wondering who on this board I could stand to attend this with, without absolutely dying of embarrassment...
Thanks, though, Wizard WO'N (I think). It would never have occurred to me that there could BE this kind of, uh, entertainment.
