In my experience, Americans are FAR more prudish than the English with what you can get a way with onstage, as a variety performer. And Jester is right, 17 is not underage. When I was performing in Wales, I had a father (literally) pushing his 16 year old daughter at me.

p.s. England is not Europe.

I mean--ah, I see.

In Finland it's 16 !!!!!!
and here in Croatia it's 14 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, that's not why I'm here.

And in Ethiopia a lot of girls are married to 40 year old men and pregnant by 13!!!!!!!

Just because it is legal - it doesn't make it right! The age of consent varies throughout the world, which is why some places attract a lot of sex tourism..

[Rachel Peters]

agreed. that's what I meant to get at. as vague as I was.

...which, however, may damage one of your defenses that your cheek/butt kiss girl was of a legal age in your country.

(Hey, Etienne -- this thread sure did evolve plenty from what you originally posted, eh?)

Only in the eyes of the law.

Yeah, no kidding. But to be honest I think this has been a great thread because it has hit on so many levels:

-Even though Scot says you don't contribute, I have appreciated your perspective of an audience member / busker fanatic / prude.

-There has been discussion on audience perceptions, and making your show appropriate to that.

-"Stock" material and coming up with ways to make it your own (like Jester turning the his butt to face the girls lips)

-A stupid clown who was prosecuted for the kiss gag

-14 is legal in Croatia

-etc. etc. etc.

This is what P.net is about (I think).

I'm adding that to my resume.

"audience member / busker fanatic / prude."


...but remember -- I do grab butts. Quite often. So I'm only prudish about kisses.

[jester]

I HATE having my butt grabbed, especially by drunk women out on a hen night.

Back to the kiss cheek gag, I was once Betty in "Cloud 9"and I had to kiss an actress, who one night stuck her toungue in my mouth and decided to go for it. I was almost sick.

If somebody feels the same way about lips as I do about tongue then I am not going to inflict my lips upon any poor unsuspecting person, regardless of their age....
