What is Puppetry of the Penis?
In case you are unacquainted, Puppetry of the Penis is a live show that features two nude men wearing capes and manipulating their genitalia into different shapes – kind of like an adult variation of balloon art called genital origami or penis puppetry – that they pair with comedy commentary that most find hilarious.
The name of the show, Puppetry of the Penis, pretty much reveals what you are going to see there. There is a comedy commentary that goes along with every ‘trick,’ be it the Wind-Up, the Atomic Mushroom, the fairly simple Wristwatch, the Snail, or their famous Puppetry of the Penis hamburger.
These are not the only performances you will see. We don’t want to spoil too much, but the Flying Squirrel, Windsurfer, and the Loch Ness Monster count as some of their tame routines in genital origami.
You might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but the performers do a great job of coming across as silly and fun instead of weird or creepy. The comedy script that accompanies the show will have you in splits! If you have a flexible sense of humor, that is.
In an interview, Morley speaks of his motivations for continuing to perform the Puppetry of the Penis: “We’re about celebrating the penis and liberating the male genitalia. Women and men have been told for a long time now, ‘You can’t laugh at a man’s genitals. You’ll hurt his feelings.’ We say, ‘Not true!’ We make them three stories high on a big screen and say, ‘Have a good, old-fashioned belly laugh.’ “.
Performers
Even though the show was originally performed by Simon Morley and his fellow puppeteer David Friend, new performers have been recruited and trained by them during the long and popular tenure of the show. One of the more admired performers is Daniel Lewry who sometimes joins Simon for shows.
You won’t know who’s performing until they come out, but everyone is very talented! Support the art of nude performers in a different way by checking out the best topless and nude shows Sin City has to offer.
