In 2006 Prince Poppycock was born. At the time John was studying Opera, had just completed learning the Figaro aria, 'Largo al Factotum'. When a friend asked John to perform the aria at her nightclub there was only one stipulation: he must wear a wig. John decided to perform as a powdered-wigged baroque dandy, and highlight how the song was about being a fabulous hairdresser (it really is!). Prince Poppycock was born!

Prince Poppycock was an instant success, appearing at prime Los Angeles venues like the Redcat, where he opened for revered performance artist Ann Magnuson, and at the Orpheum where he opened for the Dresden Dolls.
