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.htmlWhat'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.

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.

Believe me, Jackie, it never would've occurred to me either! Just happened to surf into that talk show with these two guys on, thanks to my trusty remote! (I hate the 5 minutes-plus of commercials these days, and always have to go a-wanderin'!) By the way, the first hit on Google is a demo of one of their, uh, characters. But if anyone wants a look you'll have to find it for yourself...Far be it from me to feel directly responsible for leading someone so errantly far off the beaten path!

Jackie:
Your mentioning this reminded me of something that I had not thought about in almost 30 years. I had a bet with a lady at work for dinner and a movie. Can't remember the subject of the bet, can't remember who won, can't remember the dinner. But the movie!!!
We decided on the spur of the moment to see "The Groove Tube", a disjointed series of skits based on commercial television. One of the skits featured a penis and associated appendages, with a plastic eye glued to the scrotum over each testicle. It took us about 30 seconds to realize what this talking head was and suddenly we were both laughing so hard our ribs hurt. But the most interesting thing was that no one else in the audience got the joke for at least a minute after we started laughing.
I've often wondered what that said about us.
And now I wonder if these guys might not have stolen this idea from that movie.

I regret that I'll have to wait until I get home to view the webpage...I'm afraid Big Brother and his Firewall might get this hit.
Wonder what my husband will think when he sees me open to performing penis'? What would the men of this page say to their wives if they saw them viewing the same???

The duo was a smash hit at the Comedy Festival here in Montreal. They even had to tack on an extra show because of the overwhelming public demand. What I really wonder though, is not how they came up with all these penile gymnastics (boys will be boys and as such, well, generally play with themselves somewhat) but how exactly did they bring it up *to one another*. I mean, were they sitting there one day, watching the telly when Simon turns to David and says, "hey, I can make a my penis look like the Eiffel Tower, wanna see??" And, David says what..."ya sure, lookie mine" F.Y.I. The BEST time to visit Montréal is during the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. There are humourists from all over the globe. Everybody has a fabulous time. Here is a site if you are interested... http://www.hahaha.com/index.ch2

Well, after all, they are standup comedians. But they don't appeal to the Chinese, who are well known for being inscrotable.

Somebody needs to be reviewing his "the birds & bees" talk. Now you have a mommy bird and a daddy bird. The mommy bird has eggs, the daddy bird has, um, well, ah, um, well...long story short (ooo how apropos)...he don't have eggs.
so stales sweety, them ain't eggs they be carrying.

I can't confirm the truth of the following - but....
Apparently one of these guys has his girlfriend's name (Wendy) tattooed upon - well, you know... Most of the time it simply reads "Wy"
He was recently doing a show in Jamaica and couldn't help but notice (whilst using the gents' facilities) another guy had the same tattoo. Amazed, he said, "Do you have that tattoo because your lady's name is Wendy?".
"No mon" the other guy replied, "It says Welcome to Jamaica, hope you have a nice stay".

"WY tattooed"for recent alternate versions see also http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?cat=&board=wordplay&number=49611et. seq. (It's in the thread on this forum from December 19, 2001 called "putz exaptated," if there's a problem with the URL) or even if there isn't a problem with the url)

i dragged this to the top for all the US'ers... The magic men are scheduled to be on Jay Leno tonight --that is if your local affiliate doesn't pull the show..or otherwise block the segment.
you can see all the excitement (or lack there of, as i understand it) tonight.
they seem to have created 'franchises' since the show is still playing in NY, and is also playing in LA...
rehersal and try out for the must be interesting... and imaging writing home to your parents, that you have finally made it big, on the great white way... and your starring in...
We don't have anyone from Iowa here do we? i wonder how it will play in Peoria.

also, it was all talk.... it did explain how they came to planning and producing the show, but no "dick tricks" as they called them, where available.
i some times wonder how it is that i live in a country that still has such a childish attitude towards nudity, and the body.
after midnight audiences aren't children, and by the way, the name Puppetry of the Penis, does give you a clue.
the Salt Lake City Utah affiliate refused to even air the show-- LDS should be called latter day liars, the Marriot hotel chain, headquartered in SLC, and headed by rightous mormans fathers, is one of the biggest purveyers of porn in US.
i guess they are only in favor of porn when they are getting a cut of the profits. not that i think the P of the P is porn, but i don't see much wrong with most porn. sometimes its funny, and very often it is boring, and every once in a while its just what you want.
