PUNCH AND JUDY SHOWS
The PUNCH & JUDY SHOW can
trace its roots back to 16th Century Italy, with the Puppet Character
"Pulcinella".
The first recorded appearance in the UK. was in London's Covent Garden in
1662, with his name becoming "Punchinello".
PUNCH & JUDY SHOWS became
particularly popular during Victorian & Edwardian times, with the
emergence of the new seaside Holiday Resorts.
The familiar Candy striped
"Booth" on the beach soon attracted a large crowd of Children
& Parents alike, enjoying the show for a collection of a few pence.
Incredibly, the story, featuring
Mr. Punch, his long-suffering Wife Judy, The Baby, Joey the Clown, The
Policeman, The Crocodile, plus various other assorted characters (not
forgetting the string of sausages), has barely changed in the last 200
years.
PUNCH & JUDY SHOWS Are still
as popular as ever, appearing at the Seaside, Carnivals, Fairs, Fetes,
Birthday Parties, Shopping Centres, Period Events, etc. etc.
