Punch and Judy Show

Punch and Judy, performed by seasoned professional Uncle Brian, is a popular puppet show featuring Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically the anarchic Punch and one other character. The show is traditionally performed by a single puppeteer, known as a Professor.

In addition to Punch & Judy, Uncle Brian’s traditional cast members comprise of the baby, a snappy crocodile, Joey the Clown, Mr Policeman (taking the place of the antiquated Beadle), a hairy spider and a range of props including the baby's milk bottle, string of sausages, frying pan, police whistle and Punch's slap stick.

There may have been alterations in the plot, but a handful of enduring catch phrases are still those used for decades or before we were born: for instance, Mr Punch, whilst chasing Judy, always squawks "Give us a kiss" or after whacking everyone which his slap stick Punch comes out with the audiences favourite "That's the way to do it".
