Puddles loves love, but he is a sorry sack. Nothing ever seems to work out. His first wife, the Fiji Mermaid, would relentlessly trounce him causing him grief and discomfort until she fell in with an unsavory element and left him fer good. Puddles companion, MonkeyZuma, once a fabulous "Hoochie Girl" on the midway, was transformed into her simian-sapien state by the jealous and foppish Mystery Gyptian, a mystic of unequaled fanciness and sexual prowess, who made Puddles the subject of his salacious desire and made a monkey out of anyone who tried to stand in his way.

Today, Puddles and MonkeyZuma perform together as Puddles Pity Party, a one-two punch of lacrimation and celebration. Puddles Pity Party recently performed on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live Tour, and also with the beautiful bearded troubadours known as Eels, in addition to performances in the Manderley Bar at Sleep No More NYC and the magical spiegeltent of Seattle's Teatro ZinZanni. When not on the road, Puddles Pity Party performs regularly at little kiddie orphanages and old folks homes to remind the people to leave the crying to Puddles and fiddling with poop to MonkeyZuma and, most importantly, to smile, even when nobody loves you, and yer all alone.
