Puppetry of the Penis<\/em> \u2013 an off-Las Vegas Strip comedic performance-art show featuring two male performers twisting their privates into balloon-animal contortions \u2013 has announced the \u201cWorld\u2019s First Penis Job Fair,\u201d according to a press statement.<\/p>\n

That’s the show’s way of saying that it’s holding auditions for new penis puppeteers. Auditions will be held at The Jewel Box theater inside the Erotic Heritage Museum, 3275 S. Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, at 1 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 9.<\/p>\n

David Friend and Simon Morley have openings they want you to fill at ‘Puppetry of the Penis.’ (Image: dailypost.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for the full package,\u201d show creator and producer Simon Morley snaid in the statement. \u201cNo puppeteering skills are required. But all applicants must have a firm grasp on their anatomy, must have flexible schedules, and must bring their own equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another requirement Morley should probably add is no concern about being Googled by future employers.<\/p>\n

The Vegas show consists of 45 genital manipulations, accompanied by sound effects and comedic narration. Wearing only sneakers and velvet magician’s capes, the performers stand with their backs to the audience. A large screen projects the action, 20 times life size, onto an upstage screen for audience viewing. The show also includes a brief instructional demonstration for audiences to replicate the contortions, as well as an audience participation segment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful applicants may perform in Las Vegas or join a worldwide tour later this year,\u201d Morley’s statement read.<\/p>\n

The production does not discriminate due to circumcision status. However, all auditioners must complete a \u201cmaster class\u201d that includes instruction on such \u201cclassic penis installations\u201d as the Eiffel Tower, the Hamburger, the Loch Ness Monster, the Windsurfer, and the Wristwatch. All master class participants are guaranteed audition time.<\/p>\n

History of the Penis<\/h2>\n

Puppetry of the Penis<\/em> was conceived by Morley in 1996 as the title of an art calendar featuring the 12 different positions he figured out how to contort his unmentionables into. In 1997, Morley taught his friend, David Friend, the craft, and they partnered to debut an act at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.<\/p>\n

They then embarked on an eight-month tour that was filmed for a 2000 documentary called Tackle Happy. <\/em>In 2003, the duo licensed their show for US productions, including an off-Broadway show at the Bleecker Street Theatre, opened by a pre-fame Amy Schumer.<\/p>\n

Their Las Vegas show has run five nights a week at The Jewel Box since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally we will bring our art form to Las Vegas,\u201d Morley said in a press statement at the time. \u201cIt was great to play New York, London and Paris. But Sin City is truly where we belong. Vegas loves penis.\u201d<\/p>\n
