The Punch and Judy Show (known also as The Punch Show)

The Punch and Judy Show is a traditional puppet performance originating in 17th-century England, featuring a comical, often mischievous puppet named Punch. Typically performed outdoors, the show uses a handheld puppet theater to depict humorous, slapstick adventures involving Punch, his wife Judy, and various other characters. Known for its exaggerated gestures, witty dialogue, and lively audience engagement, the show offers entertainment through satire, physical comedy, and sometimes adult humor, making it a popular form of street entertainment and family entertainment alike for centuries.
