	The Straight Dope: Did a French vaudeville star once specialize in trained flatulence? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I think it is poetically appropriate that Joseph Pujol, better known as Le Petomane (which we may loosely translate as "the fartiste") should emanate from France, without doubt the most pretentious nation on the face of the earth.
		Le Petomane performed his unique act from 1887 to 1914, and became one of his country's best-known vaudevillians.
		Le Petomane arrived in Paris in 1892, and was promptly hired by the Moulin Rouge, the famous music hall.

	"Joseph Pujol, the Fartiste"
		To begin his act he introduced himself and explained that he was about to demonstrate the art of "petomanie." He further explained that he could break wind at will, but assured his audience not to worry because his parents had "ruined themselves" in scenting his rectum.
		One Sunday the Moulin Rouge took in 20,000 francs for a Le Petomane performance, an amount which dwarfs the 8000 francs typically grossed by Sarah Bernhardt at the peak of her career there.
		Le Petomane continued to be an enormous draw in his new venue until around 1900, when the interest of the show-going public began to wane.

	Eye Weekly - NAKED: Ballad of the Master Blaster - 10.13.94
		Le Petomane was a Marseilles baker who had a unique talent -- he was the world's most artistic farter.
		At the height of his fame in the 1890s, Le Petomane earned an average gate of 20,000 francs per show (to put this in perspective, the other star of the Moulin Rouge, Sarah Bernhardt, was only pulling in 8,000 francs per performance).
		To avoid a bum rap that he was faking it and to prove the purity of his talent, Le Petomane offered demonstrations and submitted to countless probing and proddings by astounded doctors, who not only confirmed that his act was legit but published lengthy medical reports on his phenomenal talent.

		Riuscì immediatamente a dimostrare le sue doti a Charles Zidler, impresario del cabaret insieme al socio Joseph Oller, sbalordendolo sia con il trucco della fontanella e sia con un vocalizzo intestinale.
		Spariva poi qualche minuto dietro le tende per poi ritornare con un tubo di gomma che gli spuntava da dietro; per mezzo di questa appendice riusciva a fumare una sigaretta e a suonare accenni di popolari melodie con un flauto (la sua preferita era “Au Clair de la Lune”).
		In Spagna una sua performance venne annullata perché durante le prove il direttore d’orchestra gridò allo scandalo e si rifiutò di collaborare; Pujol, intenzionato a rispettare l’ingaggio a tutti i costi, vestì i panni di un clown bianco musicista e improvvisò uno spettacolo comico che divertì comunque il pubblico.

		Although his retirement is often blamed on the outbreak of The Great War, one fact that you should keep in mind is that that is also the year in which the French government finally outlawed the manufacture, sale and consumption of that mind-numbing, all-consuming, highly toxic favorite drink of the 19th Century...

	Parker - true pop
		Now we are proud to feature Le Petomane, a rousing, swirling, Rave-up that brings back to the mix the synthpop made popular in the early ‘80s as New Wave matured from it’s punk roots and embraced the dance mix of the main stream.
		With Eva Parker's vocals out front, it's easy to make comparisons to the girl-fronted alternative rock that made rotations on 120 Minutes, but Parker builds on their predecessors; an opener like "I Miss You" is more than punk-era Siouxsie and the Banshees, where tight power pop chords overshadow gothic underpinnings.

		Le Petomane, as Pujol became, performed nightly from 1895 in Paris' infamous Moulin Rouge commanding full houses.
		With brilliantly selected archival footage from the vaudeville-cabaret tradition which provided the initial content of a lot of early cinema to illustrate his story, an appreciation of the physical feat as popular entertainment develops.
		Largely lost to history, partly I suspect because in order to experience its real thrill you 'had to be there', the retirement from the stage of Pujol was a reaction to WWI and its destruction of fin-de-siècle optimism.

		In the same book, the last chapter is about Joseph Puhjol, who billed himself in the 1890s in Paris as "Le Petomane." He could play tunes, put out a candle two feet away, and otherwise delight audiences with his sphincter exhalations.
		He could "modulate sound from the smallest and almost inaudible to the sharpest and most prolonged, simply according to the contraction of his muscles..." The book does not specify this, but I have no doubt that he could chew gum at the same time.
