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. Years before, Simon's youngest brother had shown him his first genital trick, ‘The Hamburger'. Natural sibling rivalry with their two other brothers resulted in the evolution of a healthy 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 Simon finally decided to unleash his talent on the world.

The natural choice of performing partner was David Friend, whose reputation as The Life of any party was quickly growing. 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. After completing his degree in computing, he returned to Melbourne with his own highly individual collection of hanging art. Together, Simon and Friend became PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS. Their debut season at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was a huge hit. Simon and Friend then embarked on a national tour, circumnavigating Australia. This took eight months, covered 20,000 kilometres and was captured in all its glory in the documentary Tackle Happy.

A runaway hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2000, PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS then set about the task of world domination, playing London's West End, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and launching multiple US companies, with one playing the John Houseman Theatre in New York for 2 years, and another two touring extensively, with sit-downs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. As of today, most of the Western World has played host to PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS, including Australia, the UK, USA, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Argentina and Switzerland. 2008 brought the boys to a Decade of Dick - or as they like to say, "A Dickade'!" Due to popular demand, Simon & Friendy are still taking the penis to the people with performances this year in Australia, Canada, USA, the UK and South Africa.
