2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Now in its second dickade, the outrageously funny Puppetry of the Penis featuring two strapping puppeteers, who bend, twist and manipulate their genitals into various objects and landmarks, has broken all box office records worldwide. And now back with a brand new show enhanced using the very latest 3D technology, this global sensation is about to embark on a UK wide tour of Puppetry of the Penis 3D that will bring to life the duo's theatrical contortions as you've never seen them before.

Wearing 3D glasses for the duration of this mind-blowing, hilarious show, audiences will gain a whole new perspective on the pair's legendary genital gesticulations such as the Eiffel Tower, The Windsurfer and even edible delights like their signature dish, The Hamburger - as every intimate shape will be captured on video camera, projected onto a large screen and then enhanced using special 3D effects, to create larger than life images that are so real you could almost reach out and cop a feel!

Simon Morley of Puppetry of the Penis, said: "We've always wanted to see how far we could stretch Puppetry of the Penis: We've toured the globe and now, just when you thought it'd couldn't get any more intimate, we've decided to tackle a whole new dimension. Cave men practicing the ancient art of genital origami could never have imagined that one day 3D technology would enhance their private experimentation for such shockingly good public entertainment, which is exactly why we've done it."

David 'Friendy' Friend and Simon Morley premiered their first show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 1998 to great critical acclaim. An eight month sell-out tour of Australia followed, with sell-out seasons in Melbourne and Sydney. Since then they've taken the West End by storm twice and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for eight consecutive sell-out years and played to some 10 million people across the globe, in three different languages and in 30 countries.
