“Is chocolate the meaning of life?” thought the fudge whale as he swam deeper and deeper into the chocolaty sea. Little did Fudgie know, that this would be his last journey into the rich, dark brown abyss.
Puppeteer and performance artist Marsian De Lellis is fascinated with creating stories in which childhood icons meet a tragic end. On the weekend of May 7- Marisan will perform “Fudgie’s Death” an excerpt from “Growing Up Linda” a puppet play based on his fictitious take on the Carvel Ice Cream family.
You may recall Marsian’s insightful take on the Lady Gaga and Grace Jones debate, or you may remember his earlier appearance this year when he introduced his other work “The Bride of Wildenstein” about the odd looking plastic surgery addict and New York City socialite, Jocelyn Wildenstein.
In that show we made our predictions for 2010, and eerily enough, most of them have come true already. Celebrities wanting to be un-retouched on magazine covers, Apple’s iPad seen as a source of revenue for print publishing companies and Susan Boiling, the act of comparing any homely viral video star to the British reality TV singing sensation.
Listen as we reflect with Marsian on his attraction to searching for the deeper meaning in those sweet deserts and relish in the fascinating fetish of masking to be the lady you want to be.

those commercials are a hoot..and a lil creepy.
Welcome to my life, Chickengirl
You could punish people by giving them acid and making them watch those commercials. I wish I could go see that show! It sounds totally awesome, hopefully you will come to phoenix. As always, great show. Hope you come on in person when you get to Chicago!
But would it really be a punishment, Dr. Toussaint? I performed ‘pump that pussy’ from “Bride Of Wildenstein” at Great Arizona Puppet Theater last September, maybe I will come back soon. I would love to come back to perform Fugie’s Death sometime.. keep an eye out for me.
I love when Marsian is on! Another great show…you guys are hilarious.
flattery will get you everywhere with me
Marsian is a brilliant guy and I’m lucky to still be friends with him after all these years. I knew him when he was a sweet teen!
Hilarious show! Marsian should be on the show more often.
About Lady Gaga. If you are tired of something or dislike something doesn’t mean you hate it. I think the words “love” or “hate” are used in such an inflationary way nowadays that they slowly loose their meaning and power.
i love this comment
Amen Andy!
you guys talking about masking reminds me of Tracy Taylor. aww i miss her, she was one of my favorite regular guests.
Marsian has to be one of my favorite guests you have on the show. I laugh out loud for the full hour. Look forward to the next time he “stops by” as a guest!
Thank you for spreading your glitter, Brad
Marsian is one of my all time favorite guests. Non stop hilarity. Marsian, husband and I LOVE you!!!! Also, we’re big Carvel fans as we grew up with the ice cream shops and a fresh cake for every birthday. There’s still a store open a block away from where he grew up. If you’ve never been to a Carvel shop, the smell is intoxicating!!!!
Thanks Brian, you are one of my all time favorite listeners… Do they even sell Cookie Pus now-a-days? It would make me (and I’m sure Fausto and Marc) Real happy if you and your hubby made a cake sitting video with a Carvel Cake the next time you get one.
I think the voice of Cookiepuss is Cyndi Lauper on helium…or not on helium. At the very least, he’s a Long Islander…
