Joseph Pujol, known as Le Petomane, was a famous French performer in the 1890s who could insert air into his rectum and release it to mimic sounds like animal noises or pass gas. He would tell jokes while performing flatulence acts that made audiences laugh so hard they cried. His performances at the Moulin Rouge theater in Paris were a success due to his ability to pass wind and tell jokes simultaneously. While some question if putting air in one's rectum could be harmful, Pujol did not seem hurt by his acts.
