A friend of mine is a clown and there was a discussion about clown hierarchy. A few rabbit holes later and I’ve watched a few Punch & Judy shows on UA-cam. It’s wonderful that performers are still putting their own spin on this centuries old theatrical form. The children love it! Some people are very sensitive to violence. That’s ok. They’re entitled to their opinion. The rest of us can enjoy the show.
I agree. Been watching a few myself. It’s funny now and found it funny as a kid as well.
This has made my day. I laughed so much. I now want to take the day off work and head for the seaside to watch Punch and Judy shows.
Throughout my life, I've heard of Punch and Judy and yet have never, ever seen a show.
This performance was a great first experience.

I like your show
😍xx
The only Punch & Judy show I've ever witnessed live was a full stage production by the local college theater department. The students put on a show that I still remember over 40 years later.
Thank you for uploading your entire performance. Its wonderful to enjoy a complete show as it was performed that day. Funny.
I truly enjoy these because it is quality comedy unlike the kind on TV these days
W.....what did I just watch?
A Punch and Judy Show 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s an old classic
I think it is amazing how kids always just roll with it and have fun, but there is always some grown up with a "problem" with it. Punch gets his comeuppance in the end. No worse than a cartoon. It's not a baby getting hit on the head, it's a puppet. Relax.
I love Punch and Judy shows!
They're So Much Fun and Hilarious.
Must be fun to perform these shows, even when the kids are getting a bit hands on. Nice to see some politics in the shows (was expecting the devil to say...no, *not* Clegg lol). Good to see some old school things still alive and kicking :)
I can understand those folk who believe that violence is not comedy - and they are right in thinking that real violence is not funny. That's why the human race has always played the game of 'let's pretend'. That's why we 'play' - it's not real. It's part of who we are as a race to explore all areas of the human condition. No one likes being preached to - which is why so often the best way to get across your ideas is through comedy. Mr Punch is hardly an attractive character and I see no evidence that anyone who is normally non-violent, after watching a Punch show will want to go out and be violent as a result. It's certainly the case that in centuries gone by, long before Mr Punch, cinema or TV, the human race was just as inhumane then as it has always been - and sadly I suspect will always be, at least somewhere in the world.

Here we have a professor of a Punch and Judy show effectively being a professor of philosophy. Let it not be said that this gentleman has live an unconsidered life. Can his more caustic critics claim the same about themselves?
No more violent than Tom and Jerry. Some people read too much into it.
This is amazing!!
Loved Punch and Judy!!
Don't mind if it's violent but that's part of the show!!
I love Punch and Judy! They used to have a strolling Punch and Judy theatre at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia back in the 80s. Now in the United States if you were to do a Punch and Judy show the PC Police will probably tar and feather you!
its funny and good production
I'm trying to develop a taste for this "Punch and Judy" phenomenon. I am sad to report that I'm failing to do so. I may simply not be British or young enough. I suspect the former.
Oddly, I had a similar reaction to trying to learn how to like Noh plays. I strongly experienced how Japanese I WASN'T. Now I'm feeling very UN-English.
You’re not the only one. I’ve never been one to appreciate the violent humour style in puppets nor in tom and jerry cartoons or three stooges. Maybe it’s because the kids in schools would always mimick them and I was the one being subject to being hit with sticks, poked in the eyes as kids acted out what they saw. As for those using whataboutism as a defence by citing bugs bunny, Tom and Jerry lemme tell ya something, most of us only watched those cartoons because nothing else was on. As much as people claim to remember the good ole days that never were so good, nearly no one is watching those same cartoons and the latest versions of them have changed format. Instead of doing nothing but chasing and beating each other with wood planks and gunshot sound fx on each other, these old cartoons have been forced to become more creative or fall out of view. You can watch attempts to bring back those characters in Tom and Jerry meets Sherlock Holmes, Tom and Jerry Wizard of Oz. Btw in America this was known as a style of burlesque in vaudeville which was originally for parody reasons, poking fun at old serious shows. But it somehow became forgotten. This stuff really doesn’t have much place in modern society where kids have childhoods. Back about 100 years ago, having a childhood was not a thing. That’s why nursey rymes about prostitutes and the plagues were things adults told to kids alike. You don’t see kids reciting rymes about covid-19 like they did with the plagues. Times change.
@@wangchung6910 Um, have you seen teenage Instagram and TikTok? The kid's humor these days is dark and BLEAK. People are making entire rap videos about COVID-19. Kids, including MY teenager, make jokes about school shootings. You have to laugh at that stuff or you'll go crazy. It's scary and horrible for anyone who lives it but for those of us who don''t; we've just got to laugh and keep ourselves sane.
@@mr.pavone9719 Not really, there are other things to laugh at that isn't dark, horrible and stupid
@@burrito_therapy9156 yeh i love to laugh at babies and puppies and sunny days, they all need to be taken down a notch by laughing at them.
This is brilliant! My gram used to do Punch and Judy with her dad during the war for the kids who were moved out of London into the country. She married a Canadian soldier and moved here to Calgary in 1952.
I like how punch say “That’s the way we do it “
Can you please kindly lots more
Wow, these puppets are older than the United States!
I lyk duh bit weah duh funny puppets hit each other wit duh big stick hahhahahhahaha :D
Good show funny real connection to kids humour.
I love it
Now when I hear the name Judy I think of Judy garland 💘.
No it’s actually like that and I know your name is Judy but in your UA-cam profile it said Kate, so I think your real name is Kate and also it’s actually like a show me for like a younger audience but the British audience
going to a program tonight on
PLAY as a way to good mental health.

I went to a punch and Judy show and I honestly found SO Horrorfying!
Hi
Hello young child
IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVIIIIIIITTTT
why does mr punch have a strange growth on his back?
Some believe it’s to represent the troubles of the world which he carries on his back. Over time this ‘hump’ has become exaggerated in size and shape.
right????
Punch be like 👺
Ahhahaha
MEEEEEEEEEEEE😉
2:35 And 6:09
I'm sorry, but the voice of "Mr. Punch" makes it impossible to watch for me. I don't know if it's the quality of the video or the voice itself, but I just can't stand it.
It's the voice used for the character.
It's traditional and basically required to do it that way. -_-
@@katraylor That's a pity, I would really like to watch it. But you can't argue with tradition, can you? Thanks for explaination nice person :)
Me
Where are these piece of shit kids parents who let their kids do whatever the fuck they want. Fuckin society it's what's wrong.
Not As Good As Professer Glenn Edwards
Unfortunately, Punch and Judy is true to real life - a man bashes his wife, and the police do nothing.
That's a load of crap, at least in the U.S. A man looks at a woman "wrong" and he's off to freakin' jail. The reverse definitely isn't the case; a woman can do anything she wants to a guy and get away with it.
cool
but boring

This is not comedy! Violence is not comedy! Anyone who thinks violence such as hitting a baby in the head repeatedly, beating a woman or man, even if it is a puppet show is an imbecile. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Savannah Fields Jesus christ your an idiot. this is much more tame than most tv programs. Its such a shame that people like you have to ruin such an amazing and fun show thats for children.
Mr punch
