Anyone else see Puppetry of the Penis?

I found a BBQ Pit thread about it, but nothing here.

We went, we were amused, the hubby was somewhat weirded out that he just spent $45 a ticket to watch men play with their penises. Hey, just think of THAT when you plop $60 at a strip club to watch a lady play with HERself! :wink:

All in all, I was amused. Aside from the actual “puppetry,” it was just a funny show.

It is a bit odd, and may be a bit of Emperor’s New Clothing…but regardless, I laughed pretty damn hard. :slight_smile:

Morbid curiosity forces me to ask,exactly what puppetry “acts” were performed with the penii?

They just make various shapes with the penis, scrotum, and testicles. Best known is the Hamburger…but they also do two variations of The Woman, as well as a hot dog, snail, squirrel, Loch Ness Monster, windsurfing, etc.

I saw “The Vagina Monologues,” but thankfully it was all oral interpretation, with no nudity.

But some of that “oral” stuff – wow!!! For instance, an older Broadway actress giving a demonstration of different moans! As one of the other actresses said, “I need a cigarette!”

Actually, it sounds to me like “Puppetry” had nothing at all to do with sex, despite the nudity.

Aw, c’mon, you can’t tell me we’re the ONLY ONES out of y’all who’ve seen this thing, right?

Right??

I hate to say it…but I did see something about it on the Anna Nichole Smith Show last night.

They blurred out the peni though so I had to use my imagination.

I would really want to see it if I got a chance but I have a feeling my imagination was much more intertaining.

In Conceivable, I hate to say it…but we got the idea to see it when we saw it on the ANS show (which I must qualify with saying it was the third time we’ve ever seen the show).

And you know, the theater is just up the street from that annoying Bobby Trendy’s store.

Some of my friends saw it here in Australia. They said it was pretty darn funny, but the tickets were overpriced, all things considered.

For the curious, there was an email circulating a while back (here in Aus, at least), that, uh, documented the “origami”. I’m sure it could be Googled up.

BTW, the plural of “penis” is, apparently, “penises” or “penes”.

I saw it. A bawdy friend from San Fran heard about it and bought tix for me, him and our GFs before he came to NYC.

It was utterly dreadful. (Though the warm-up comic was not bad.) Thank goodness I was not paying.

I’m guessing the penises/penes/penii have to be floppy, quite stretchy, and long-ish?

What would happen if one of the actors accidentally got a hard-on? Or is that the climax(!) of the performance?

We do know that Narrad - but isn’t it more fun to say penii ? I just rolls off the tongue so to speak…

Well, I have to say I own snapshot of the poster for the show- I spent a couple days in London and ran accross promo’s for it on the street there. I was desperately curious about it, but didn’t have the time or $$ to go that trip. I hadn’t even realized that I could see it here, Calloo Callay!
