The Comical Tragical History of Mr Punch
jeroid asked:
Punch & Judy show taken at Weymouth, England on a splendid Bank Holiday Saturday in April. That’s the way to do it!
its still going….i was there today
Of course, traditionally Punch wasn’t only for children, and if well performed still appeals to different members of teh family for different reasons (subtle jokes etc.). Surely the main reason the Hangman appears less often these days is because this form of execution is no longer in use and has therefore fallen out of favour?
I can’t decide if this is a creepy thing, or the creepiest thing.
listen to the kids LOL
squeak squeak
whos the retarded adult shouting.. “mash him up man?? “Lick him down man” Oh man, hes more into it than the kids.. What a tard….
I live in weymouth and watched this alot when ive been in town
Very goood. Too bad it had to end
Punch and Judy!
Reading Neil Gaiman’s “Mr. Punch” (again)… I live in Korea and even in my hometown in Canada, I wouldn’t see any performance of Punch and Judy let alone a good one like this. Thanks for paying jeroid and thanks for posting the video.
This is a brilliant show, I think I saw it in Aberystwyth one year
I live in the U.S. and we don’t have the previledge of seeing shows,so this is as close to it as we can do. Great to be able to go sea-side and see it for real!
i go to weymouth since 1990 and i love to see Mr Punch every year again… Prof Guy Higgins Show was much better than the show now i have to say…i relly miss it when i am in germany!!!
Mr Punch rules!!!!

Hey, maybe he’s just thinking of us folks out where its nigh impossible to find a Punch and Judy show
I was entranced!
That Mr.Punch is a rascal!
stupid creepy show
Richard here: very good fit up and a good swazzler
I’ve had this with someone else who got in a snit for something he didn’t understand. I paid to watch the performance ok? I’m not that tight. This isn’t going to stop anybody watching it, is it? It’s an open-air show in front of people who are bound to have cameras, and a bit of extra exposure is a good thing. I honestly cannot comprehend this kind of petty small-mindedness. Not everyone who watch it paid. I DID so belt up.
The future of punch and judy doesnt look bright with people not paying, you would know about that for not paying for the show. Mark says that you refused to stop videoing where there are signs saying that you shouldnt video and also mark isnt paid to be on the beach, its people like you who dont pay, then future generations will think its ok not to pay and video things when your are told not do do something. Think before posting videos again matey!
It is indeed Professor Mark Poulton. Excellent stuff
great show -very traditional- well done
This is brilliant stuff, authentic Punch & Judy. No pc rubbish.
wonderful stuff.
very good authentic show with great action and snappy dialogue. Fun!
Prof Mark Poulton I believe, I recognize the fit-up.
