Does anyone know of a sponge ball routine where a ball is cut in half? All I can remember is that the balls represent noses and at some stage half a ball moves to the specs hand representing one nostril!
I performed this over ten years ago and have completely forgotten the routine and where I got it from Doh. |

Stephen Tucker does a spongeball routine based on noses and 1/2 spongeballs.
You can find it on his "Pandora's Box" video/DVD.

Aldo Colombini also has a routine using a half ball, on the WGM sponge ball dvd. He refers to the balls as noses as well, but doesn't use the 1 nostril bit...

Frank, pretend one nostril is full of bugers.

You try to move a "nose" from your hand to theirs but only half a ball appears.
"Let's do it one nostril at a time" you say, or similar. Oh, how they laugh. |

Ok. I see where this is going. Booger/Toilet jokes. Gee. Real classy.
And straight into my act with the benson plunger stuff from the other thread.

For the truly tasteless, you could do it with large foam rubber earplugs. Oh, wait, Sankey already did this. Still tasteless.

Or, you could do sponge rabbits, cut the rabbits in half and have blood come squirting out of the rabbits... now that would be tastless.
On second though, I guess that isn't tasteless if you are at a Penn and Teller show... only tasteless if you do it at a kids birthday party. Also, this probably isn't tasteless if you are performing for the after party of a screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. |

No no nooooo, no toilet, booger or any other tastless jokes. The one nostril line is just a funny throw away gag. It goes down well to all audiences, even royalty. Possibly.....

Hey Frank,
Did the cup routine fool you? It certainly fooled me. But then, what do I know?

Yes it sure did. I liked it. seems like it might play very well as a 2 cup strolling routine.
Very well.

I liked it too but I cannot find any 'cups' that are suitable for the routine.
Any ideas?
