Puppetry Of The Penis Is Coming

“Puppetry Of The Penis” Is Unleashed

Hold On To Your . . . Hats!

The international comedy hit, "Puppetry of the Penis” will make its Boston debut at The Copley Theatre. The limited run begins February 26.

Described as a non-sexual adult entertainment, “Puppetry” tackles the ancient Australian art of genital origami with an astounding series of penis “installations” that create The Pelican, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel Tower and their signature creation, The Hamburger.

“Puppetry of the Penis” was created by Simon Morley in 1996 as the title of a classy, highbrow art calendar showcasing twelve of his favorite penis installations.
Years before, Simon’s youngest brother had shown him his first genital trick. Natural sibling rivalry resulted in the evolution of a healthy repertoire of genital gesticulations.

Show business being what it is, “The Puppetry of the Penis” debuted at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. A national tour followed, captured in the documentary, “Tackle Happy.”

A hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2000, “Puppetry” transferred to London's West End (just steps away from British Parliament) after which is returned to Australia where it sold 50,000 tickets during a four month run.

Next was the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival where it wowed crowd once again. It then followed “The Vagina Monologues” into Toronto’s New Yorker Theatre.

An American debut was inevitable in the fall of 2001. Calling the John Houseman Theatre home, the off-Broadway production ran for more than a year to sold out houses. Productions in Los Angeles and San Francisco followed.
