For two decades Ron Low helped over 65,000 circumcised men undertake non-surgical foreskin restoration using TLC Tugger devices he invented. Enjoy Ron's fun and poignant musical memoir and slide show. He keeps you laughing while you learn what the foreskin is and does, how and why men restore, why we need to protect healthy male, female and intersex children from forced genital cutting, what efforts have succeeded and what could happen next. Ron performs on an exotic stringed instrument called a Harpejji, accompanied by backing tracks, while wearing one of his tugging devices under his kilt.

About the show

Ron Low spent two decades helping circumcised men undertake non-surgical foreskin restoration through devices he invented. The Foreskin Diaries is his musical memoir and slide show — funny, poignant and genuinely educational. Performed on an exotic stringed instrument called a Harpejji, accompanied by backing tracks, Ron covers what the foreskin is and does, the process of restoration, and the case for protecting children from forced genital cutting. A unique show, delivered with warmth and humour.

Why see this show?

Genuinely one of a kind — a musical memoir performed on a Harpejji that manages to be both entertaining and quietly important. Ron Low brings warmth and wit to a subject most shows would never dare touch, making this one of the Fringe's more memorable evenings.
