SIMON MORLEY, Creator / Puppeteer

Simon Morley was born in Melbourne, Australia. During his early career as a comedy promoter, Simon was instrumental in evolving the careers of some of Australia’s finest young stand-up comic talents.

Being the eldest of four brothers, it was in fact Simon’s youngest brother who showed him his first Dick Trick, ‘The Hamburger’. The competitive forces of an intense sibling rivalry went on to generate a healthy repertoire of genital configurations. Simon wanted to document the Dick Tricks in some way and decided on a large format calendar, showcasing 12 below-the-belt manoeuvres. The need to shift a garage full of calendars, and the growing requests for live appearances inspired Simon to start performing his now legendary Dick Tricks on stage.

After extensive touring with the show, Simon began a career in live television as a writer on the Mick Molloy Show. The lure of the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival got him back on the road in May 2000 and to this day he is keen to see just how far Puppetry of the Penis can stretch.

DAVID FRIEND, Creator / Puppeteer

David "Friendy" Friend was also born in Melbourne, Australia, a hotbed of Penis Puppetry. As a young boy, he began his Dick Trick career in the bath and his skills went on to make him popular at university parties in Byron Bay. The genial climate and no lack of encouragement made sure that when he returned to Melbourne Friendy had accumulated a swag of Dick Tricks. After successfully completing his computing degree, but finding working behind a computer unsatisfying, Friendy set about making a career out of his brave new art. A small but flourishing business venture, performing his repertoire of installations at Batchelorette/Hen’s night’s and private parties, honed his performance skills to a new level.

A partnership with the other Dick Tricker on the circuit, Simon Morley, was a natural progression, resulting in Friendy becoming one half of Puppetry of the Penis. His dream to travel the world with his penis is well on track, having toured extensively through Australia, the U.K., Europe and the U.S.A.

FITCHY – UK & European Puppeteer

'Fitchy' was born in a sheep pen on the outskirts of Oola Boola and was surrounded from an early age by animals' genitalia as he crawled in the dirt around the homestead.

Having broken free from the smallholding in his late teens (there's only so much sheep dagging a boy can put up with!) he found himself studying drama at Mountview Theatre School in London and gained a BA (Hons) degree in Performance.

After a few years grafting away in a large number of shows, films and on television, his shady past caught up with him. It was the call of the cock! Those 'Priapic Priests' from Puppetry of the Penis did lure him back to the days when he would entertain the flock with amusing genital contortions.

Fitchy is very grateful to his gurus, the equine Simon Morley and amiable David Friend, for allowing him to re-capture his youth and entertain the world in such a highly whimsical fashion. Long Live Cock!'
