Just to let anyone who really is interested in this 'art form (very childish). A national radio show in the UK (Mark Radcliffe Show) has the charming Mr Methane on as a guest every Christmas. He entertains the listeners with novel renditions of christmas carols.
He is available for bookings…
This is a national radio show and can be picked up via the Radio 1 link on the BBC website (its also good the rest of the year round) at www.bbc.co.uk - webcast at 2pm GMT
I saw the lovely Mr. Methane live in the flesh. He wears a super hero outfit with an ‘M’ on the front and uses talcum powder to show that the noises are genuinely the result of flatulence. This was at The Church, London’s antipodean ex-pats’ sunday morning tribute to all that is tasteful.
Le Petomane was, incidentally, the highest paid performer at the Moulin Rouge at that time.
In early drafts of the script to the film Moulin Rouge! Baz Luhrmann had a Le Petomane character who farted along with the opening medly, but apparently changed his mind about that bit later.
