Mister Punch is known to have
been entertaining the people
of Britain for 335 years, and
may have been at it longer.
He is not thought to have been
particularly young when he
arrived here from Italy and
some think he started off in
China in the distant mysterious
past...
However that may be, he
arrived with his wife (though it
was a hundred years before
she changed her name from
Joan to Judy) and their show
was a success.
The show has survived by
changing to meet the demands
of the changing audiences,
and characters have come into
the show and gone again
when they were no longer
needed.
Our show preserves many of
the traditional routines and
jokes, but in an updated form
which avoids the need for
everyone to be bludgeoned to
death.
Joey the Clown, who arrived
with some sausages not much
more than a century ago, and
the crocodile, who is even
younger, battle and play with
the Policeman, the Baby, Judy
and Mister Punch himself.
There are ladders, hats,
handcuffs, treasure, spades,
buckets, bananas and a magic
flower.
Now that's the way to do it!
Oh, and did I mention the
sausages?
