BASHFUL blokes have shied away from attending auditions for Kendal Amateur Operatic Society's production of The Full Monty.

"We will be asking them to do the full monty. That happens at the end of the show, but with discreet lighting their modesty will hopefully remain intact," said the society's business manager Margaret Stamper.
