Their debut season at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was a huge hit. Together, Simon and Friend became Puppetry of the Penis.
After completing his degree in computing, he returned to Melbourne with his own highly individual collection of hanging art. As a young boy, Friend began his current career in the bath and developed his skills further when he discovered beer at university in Byron Bay. The natural choice of performing partner was David Friend, whose reputation as the life of any party was quickly growing. It was on New Year�s Eve in 1997, with a garage full of calendars to sell and burgeoning requests for live demonstrations that Simon finally decided to unleash his talent on the world. Natural sibling rivalry with their two other brothers resulted in the evolution of a healthy repertoire of genital gesticulations. Years before, Simon�s youngest brother had shown him his first genital trick, �The Hamburger�.
Puppetry of the Penis was conceived by Simon Morley in 1996 as the title of a classy, highbrow art calendar, showcasing twelve of his favorite penis installations. Puppetry of the Penisfeaturesmore than 40 hilarious 'installations' including The Pelican, The Loch Ness Monster, and their signature creation, The Hamburger.Ĭreated by Simon Morley & David Friend, Puppetry of the Penis features Rich Binning, Chris Cannon, Simon Morley and Justin Morley.
