Professor Howard’s Punch and Judy Show
The Punch and Judy Show began as an Italian Marionette Show but became a hand puppet show in early 19th century England.
Because of his rascally nature,Mr. Punch always seems to find himself in hot water with his wife judy, (as well as with everyone else.)
Other traditional characters sometimes found in the show are Joey the Clown, toby the Dog, Policeman,the doctor, the devil and the Crocodile.
He is called Mr. Punch because his Italian name was Punchinello, not because he punches people.
May 9,1662 is considered “Punch’s birthday” It is the date of the first recorded sighting of a punch and judy show. (Samuel Pepys)
