The Great Nippulini will
set out to break his own world record for ‘Greatest
Weight
Lifted by Nipple Piercings’. Originally set in 2003,
the new record will be broken on Tuesday August 7th, 2007
6:00 PM at the studios of
94.1 WYSP
for publicity of the
Kidd Chris Show.
Nippulini, an experienced body piercer and retired sideshow
performer, is said to do this daring stunt to prove that he
has the “world’s strongest nipples”. Officials from
Pennsylvania’s Dept. of Weights and Measures will be
there to witness the event and authenticate the validity of
the stunt.
In 1998 the stage name “Nippulini” was created and
entire performance art routine revolving around the use of
his pierced nipples. Lifting weights, hanging objects, and
even towing cars Nippulini utilized his piercings in
ways no other sideshow performer ever has. In May 2003, he
set his original world record at the Tritone bar on
South Street, Philadelphia by lifting 48.3 pounds.
Since then, he has done lifts of over 60 pounds!
About two years ago, he has had some setbacks and even
retired from performing on stage. But recent interest from
the
Kidd Chris Show
on
94.1 WYSP
has sparked the performer into a desire to break his own
personal and official record.
Nippulini has been a professional body piercer in the
Philadelphia area since 1993 and
runs the areas oldest and most experienced piercing shops,
Warrior Body Piercing
with shops on South Street, Northeast Philly,
and Levittown. As a hobby blacksmith and welder, he
has access to hardware and tools of his own, including
various anvils weighing from 15 to 250 pounds. It is with
these anvils that will comprise the amount of weight in the
load that he will lift. In addition to officials from
weights and measures, there will be
witnesses from the body piercing industry as well as
Harley Newman,
an expert in the field of sideshow performance art.
The Kidd Chris Show
airs from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM Mondays through Fridays on
94.1
WYSP
and is known for its groundbreaking and edgy comedy. So
far, Nippulini has lifted a 16 pound bowling ball for
the show as well as other stunts such as eating a glass
light bulb, walking on broken glass, tearing a telephone
book in half, and more. This world record breaking event is
one show you must not miss!!
