Puppetry of the Penis

Book excerpt: A few years ago, Simon Morley and David Friend began performing their repertoire of dick tricks' live onstage in Melbourne. After a hit first season at the 1998 Melbourne Comedy Festival, they embarked on a national tour, which took eight months, covered 20,000 kilometres and was captured in all its glory in the documentary 'Tackle Happy'. Receiving overwhelming critical acclaim at the 2000 Edinburgh Festival, Puppetry of the Penis was a sell-out West End hit in London, and took New York and North America by storm in 2001. The show now continues to travel the world, liberating and enthralling its audiences, having now been performed in 3 languages, in over 30 countries, by over 60 Puppeteers trained up by the masters. Simon and David officially now have the "most famous, flaccid penises on earth". Now, for the first time, the secrets of the Ancient Australian Art of Genital Origami are revealed. Marvel at the Atomic Mushroom; be blown away by the Windsurfer; coo at the Baby Bird; be amazed by the Hamburger. This user's guide to an age-old art is a book that every man should study - and every woman should learn from.
