Busting Out
Nervous and slightly embarrassed to
being sitting amongst hundreds of menopausal women and young couples
about to watch an hour of mammary manipulation, I ensure my press
pass is clearly on display so I’m not mistaken for a pervert.
Busting Out is billed as Puppetry Of The
Penis but with breasts. Not something I would imagine to be
remotely enticing. The sell out crowd in Assembly’s Ballroom suggests
otherwise.
Musical
theatre star Emma Powell and comic Bev
Killick are Australian entertainers with a penchant
for nudity. After a rendition of ‘Everyone Loves Tits’ and audiences
chants of ‘Get Your Tits Out’, the baps appear. It’s crude
entertainment but however much I try to be serious and critical, it’s
difficult to not burst into laughter. These are funny women whose
representations of the Loch Ness Monster and the Batman logo are
utterly inspired.

Within sixty minutes I am standing up
along with the other male attendees squeezing my chest. The grannies
sitting next to me are giggling away. Surprisingly, so am I.
