Following a sell-out season on London's West End the unique and outrageous hit live show, Puppetry of the Penis, is back for an encore season.

This unique little cabaret show of 'Dick Tricks’ is what the creators, David (Friendy) Friend and Simon Morley, call a display of `The Ancient Art of Genital Origami'.

It is, as it suggests, well-endowed men bending, twisting and stretching their genitals (with charm and great aplomb) into the shape of hamburgers, hot dogs and famous landmarks.

With astonishing concentration and a dexterity that makes women gasp and men wince the limber couple conjure up over forty everyday shapes.

And
to ensure that nothing is missed, even from the back rows, a video camera projects every intimate detail of this incredible phenomena onto a large screen.

Since the show's debut down under, four years ago, the genital puppeteers have been a runaway success.

Not only did the revered Aussie artform take the 2000 Edinburgh Fringe Festival by storm but managed to win over the more conservative West End audience.


And now there back with a 2003 encore tour.

Kicking off in Wales at the beginning of February Puppetry of The Penis is due to appear at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre for a one nighter on Monday February 17th.


But be warned although Puppetry of the Penis is a non-sexual show it is adults-only and features full-frontal male nudity.

Check back to read our review at the beginning of January.
