Shane Pearce

Shane Pearce (November 05, 1987 in Scone, New South Wales) is an Australian comedian, writer and producer most noted for his work on the Australian Play It’s “Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch.” from 2004 to 2006.

Initially gaining recognition for his involvement with The D-Generation in the 1980s, Pearce is also known for his top-rating comedy festival act Puppetry of the Penis, which he co-hosted with Simon Morley from 1996 until 1997. Pearce can reportably do the best Eiffel-Tower ever seen due to his incredible foreskin, and it is this trick that has bought him into the hearts of many Australians.

2005 saw the release of Pearce's first book Making Da Man, a humorous account of his teenage years.

Earlier this year Pearce embarked on arguably his most risky entertainment venture to date. In a collaboration with his long time mentor Jake Moore, Pearce has produced his own television series entitled "My life with an STD".

In this series which is set to air on TV3 in Malaysia in September 2006, Pearce allows a camera crew to follow him as he attempts to negotiate the daily grind while his body is host to one of the most irritating diseases of all, gonorrhea.

In this voyeuristic expose Pearce is compelling as he attempts endeavours such as propositioning young women, sunbathing at the beach, shopping for new clothes and other daily tasks most people without an STD take for granted.

One of the most moving scenes in the series which has also seen Pearce nominated for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Award is presented to us when we see Pearce attempt to discreetly urinate in a public toilet while in the company of others. It is truly captivating and one cannot help but feel sympathetic toward the young man as his agonising moans resonate inside your head and become auditory reminder of the dangers of unprotected homosexual sexual escapades. It is a safe bet that this production will act as a deterent for others toward this obscene sort of bahaviour.

Pearce has to be congratulated for his latest offering to the viewing public however the true intent of this productionis seriously transparent. It becomes obvious almost instantaneously that this is yet another attempt by Pearce to try and crack the elusive status of celebrity, the prize Pearce has sort after for the entirety of his life.
