In 2009, JON BENNETT realized his talent for placing his groin next to inanimate objects and created the hugely popular internet photographic phenomenon,Pretending Things Are a Cock. What started as a joke between friends has now spawned a successful book, exhibition and countless critically-acclaimed live performances.
Pretending Things are a Cock is the product of Bennett’s three years of global wandering, and combines the artistic, phallic-filled photographic display with hilarious and surprisingly heart-wrenching tales from Bennett’s life.
This Just for Laughs award-nominated show for Best Comedy (Montreal, 2013) has now been performed to sell-out audiences and critical acclaim world wide. The show has toured to some of the biggest festivals in the world including the renowned Edinburgh Fringe (2012) and a very successful off Broadway run at SOHO Theatre in New York City (2019/2020).
