GINGER’S THE MAIN SQUEEZE AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS
A Froghill man who left the town to become one of the world's top bladder squeezers is coming back to pay us a visit.
For the last 25 years, Ginger Benbowe has been living in America, making a name for himself with his virtuoso squeezing style. He is currently doing bladder duty with the famous Wayne Manor and the Bat Men, playing in a line-up that includes ex-Plod guitarist Andy Bummers and vocalist Feargal Sarkey, once of Ulster pop combo the Chundertones.
Ginger, who has headlined as a solo squeezer in over 30 countries worldwide, is something of a Renaissance Man, as he is equally adept at bowel straining, scrotum stretching and foreskin whistling.
Now 54, Ginger started squeezing at the age of 11, after watching a TV programme about legendary German squeezer Heinrich Manoeuvre. Entirely self-taught, Ginger would spend long evenings in the shed at the family home manipulating his bladder. It was during this period that he perfected his trademark lateral fingering technique.
"During the 1970s my sister and I were regulars on the pub circuit around Froghill,” said Ginger, speaking by phone from his home in Tupelo, Mississippi. “I used to sit squeezing my bladder and Hermione would stand in the spotlight tweaking her nipples. We played the Assembly Rooms on more than one occasion, I seem to remember.
“It’ll certainly be great to come home,” he added with a chuckle.
• Ginger Benbowe at the Froghill Assembly Rooms, Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd of March. Tickets £24.99 to £25. Call 0372 45555.
