Jon Bennett Comedy

‘Pretending things are a Cock’ is a photographic exhibition/performance and now book created by Jon Bennett. With a large assortment of phalluses protruding from his groin area, Bennett’s ‘cocks’ range from ordinary household utensils, monuments around the world to weird and obscure objects. This particular project has taken Bennett over 3 years to collect and compile. The exhibition is an art experiment that delves into the nature of masculinity and sex, but mainly exposes the interpretations of irony within society.

Pretending Things are a Cock the exhibition has been displayed at The Urban Cow Studio for the 2010 Adelaide Fringe and at the Grace Darling Hotel for the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Pretending Things are a Cock LIVE has been performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the Montreal, Vancouver and Edmonton Fringe Festivals.

The product of three years global wandering, Australian comedic artist, Jon Bennett presents a show which combines an artistic, phallic-themed photographic display with hilarious and heart-wrenching tales from his life, giving the audience an insight into the artist’s mind.

A unique stand-up experience, ‘Pretending Things Are A Cock’ is part photographic exhibition, part pot-holed journey into the idiosyncratic world of Jon Bennett.

This critically acclaimed, Just for Laughs Award Nominated Show (Best Comedy) has now been performed to sell out audiences in the Adelaide Fringe (2010), Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2010/2011), Vancouver and Montreal Fringe Festivals (2010) and the Edmonton Fringe (2011).
