Jon Bennett has spent the past eight years pretending things are a cock. One could say he’s an expert on the subject. He has literally written the book on pretending things are a cock — it’s called Pretending Things Are a Cock.
We all take stupid selfies when traveling, like the one where you position your hand to look like you’re holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when you're constantly pretending iconic landmarks are your cock, to the point that you have hundreds of these photos, suddenly you have an art project with a big following on social media. People start sending you their travel photos, where they pretend things are a cock. You have pictures to share and stories to tell. Well, maybe not you, but that’s the position Jon Bennett found himself in after starting this delightfully juvenile project. I make fun, but really, it’s genius. I mean, you’d have to be a genius to make a living pretending things are your cock, right? I seriously admire what this guy’s done with just a good sense of humor and a little imagination.
Now he’s taking his cocky travel stories on the road, entertaining fringe crowds around the world. It’s like a travelogue for the perverted. It’s also the only show where it’s okay for you to randomly yell the word "cock" out loud — in fact, it’s encouraged. Now that you know what the show is, you’re going to go see it, right? No seriously. Go see this show.
No cocks were harmed in the writing of this review.
P.S. Whoever told me they were going to pay me $5 for every time I use the word ‘cock’ in this review needs to pay up.
