Ever heard the popping sound that fifty sphincters make all closing up at the same time? Then, you haven’t met Jimmy Finger! Part drag, part motorbike, with a hipster stash, a pompadour that defies gravity and a penchant for the wild side, Jimmy Finger is a man with a heart of gold and an untamed spirit as free as the open road beneath his wheels. He’s a modern rebel with a nod to the past. But although Jimmy is the enculturated product of an out-dated suburban Australian experience, deep down he’s refreshingly open-minded and a trailblazing poet of his times.And, the more he reveals to you that vulnerable boy inside of him who suffers, like so many of us, from love and abandonment, the more confused you’ll feel about whether you want to fuck him or hug him. Either way, you’ll find his zest for life unparalleled and irresistible. He's a high-octane rollercoaster of delicious shock and excitement, a whirlwind of contradictions — one minute, he'll make you squirm with his wild sexual escapades, and the next, he'll beguile you with his unique and unpretentious, inner-city woke philosophy. Loved by women and men and genderfluid folks alike, he’s the man with the magic fingers who does not discriminate. With The Finger, you’ll be invited to dig in deep on life to find yourself in a place where you can’t help but be drawn in by this complex, fascinating character.Sometimes described as a motorbike riding cross between James Dean and Chopper, he’s as crass as he is lovable!Love him or hate him... Jimmy Finger is the Rockabilly boganite that divides the nation. Is he a ladies man? A gay icon? Or the inner-city philosopher of our time?Make up your own mind!
