Le Pétomane left an enduring legacy and has inspired a number of artistic works . These include several musicals based on his life , such as '' The Fartiste '' ( awarded Best Musical at the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival ) and Seth Rozin 's '' A Passing Wind '' which was premiered at the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts in 2011 . In addition , Le Pétomane was added to David Lee 's 2007 reworked revival of the 1953 Broadway play '' Can-Can '' , which had originally been written by Abe Burroughs and Cole Porter . The updated play , staged at the Pasadena Playhouse , featured musical theatre actor Robert Yacko as the fartiste , with sound effects provided by the band 's trombone and piccolo players . More recently , the re-released works of English toilet humour specialist Ivor Biggun include " Southern Breeze " , a song about a " Famous French Farteur " who describes in rhyme a stroll through a farmyard , accompanied by appropriate farting noises
