Two performers attracted attention in Glastonbury (Picture: YouTube)

A woman dressed as a vagina gave Glastonbury residents a surprise this week when she helped stop a street fight involving a man dressed as a penis.

The duo were dressed in the unusual costumes to promote their ‘Fooling Around’ stage show, at the Somerset town’s Assembly Rooms venue.

Thing turned ugly, however, when one local resident took offence and allegedly began attacking the man dressed as a giant phallus.

‘He started shouting at me, saying it was disgusting and children could see us,’ Chris Murray, of the Nomadic Academy of Fools, told the Central Somerset Gazette.


‘I could tell by his body language that he was really angry. I tried to calm him down, I wasn’t looking for a fight; but he grabbed my hat, tore it off and chucked it on the pavement.’



A resident later called police who warned the pair they could be arrested unless they removed the costumes.

A spokeswoman for the Assembly Rooms said: ‘We were deeply surprised by the reaction of the police in this situation.

‘The plays were very well attended and we experienced no trouble at the venue.’
