Puppetry of the Penis was born when Simon Morley teamed up with fellow puppeteer David Friend. Their first show at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was a huge hit and won recognition as the "outright best show."
The name 'Puppetry of the Penis' was originally conceived by Morley, as the title of a highbrow art calendar. Released in 1997, the calendar showcased 12 of his favourite penis installations (known as "dick tricks"). Years before, his youngest brother Justin had shown him his first installation "the hamburger." Natural sibling rivalry resulted in the evolution of a grand repertoire of genital gesticulations.
It was on New Year's Eve in 1997, with a garage full of calendars to sell and burgeoning requests for live demonstrations, that prompted Morley to team up with Friend and unleash their talents on the world.
Together, their solo acts became Puppetry of the Penis, and a global phenomenon was born.
As of today, most of the Western world has played host to Puppetry of the Penis, including Australia, the U.K., the U.S., Germany, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Argentina and Switzerland.
