Seated in the packed theater in the fifth row, neither of the show’s performers, Christopher Cannon and Rich Binning, looked particularly hung. We’re talking average dimensions.Well endowed is nice, but it’s definitely how you use it, and these two guys sure can make some origami. My favorite was the “hamburger” which didn’t have any sesame seeds, lots of meat and buns. I highly recommend this show to anyone who hasn’t seen a lot of dick lately.
With 45 “installations” during the course of the show, some of the dick tricks can be repetitive. The humor itself is very broad; and if it wasn’t quite like Broadway; it reminded me of the genial tour guides at one of those rides at Six Flags. Except with their cocks out. Last Friday, after the show, I was hanging out with the penis puppeteers and their posse, enjoying a cocktail in the cozy back garden of the Aussie bar and restaurant Eight Mile Creek. Luckily, they put some clothes on for decency’s sake. Cannon and Binning are two wholesome young actors who won the job of twisting their genitals on stage on an open audition conducted here in New York back in April. Both recently graduated from Point Park University in Ohio and came east to find fame and fortune—they hardly expected their first acting gig would require them to stand on stage in the nude and shake the snake.
Puppetry of the Penis was created by the very handsome and charming Simon Morley in Sydney back in 1997. Posing for photos, his arm around me, I was disappointed not to see his joystick. He partnered up with David Friend and, over the years, the two have performed together more than 10,000 times.“Are you guys a bit stretched out?” I asked Morley.
He just laughed.
