PUNCH AND JUDY PUPPETS
Punch and Judy Puppets Made to Order (sometimes from Stock)
Our standard Professional Punch and Judy figures are made traditionally. Individually carved from wood. We sometimes create in paper mache which is almost as durable.
Below a brief descripton of the cast
of characters in a typical Punch and Judy Performance.
PUNCH
Mr Punch hero or not he is without doubt the star of the show. He beats his wife, well not in my show, he bashes the Clown, the Policeman and the crocodile, cheats the hangman and even gets the better of the devil.
All our figures including Punch are carved in wood and each one is
different.
JUDY
Punch’s wife is treated differently by show men. long suffering or as in the old days more spirited and secretly the boss. She nearly always wears a mop cap and apron.
BABY
We supply our babies as a stick puppet. Usually looks like Punch, yes not a pretty baby.
PRETTY POLLY
Another puppet on a stick.
Because she needs to have a sexy shape. Not seen much in shows nowadays.
CLOWN
The clown is a more recent character. The clown in contemporary shows often is the second most important character. Linking things together and often getting the better of proceedings.
CROCODILE
Originally the crocodile replaced the devil though it might well be said it also replaced the dog, all I know for sure is no show would be the same without the croc biting Punch’s nose and creating the perfect foil for the ever lasting "it’s behind you" gag.
POLICEMAN
The long arm of the law the Policeman replaced the Beadle with his three cornered hat.
HANGMAN
Usually called Jack Ketch, this character is often left out of contemporary shows probably because of the scaffold oh and maybe because it's no longer
legal.
DEVIL
The Devil is Punch’s final triumph, again a character sometimes considered too traditional for nowadays.
OTHER CHARACTERS
Other characters include Hector the Horse, the Boxers, Chinese plate spinners, oh and Toby the Dog of course.
We can make the above plus any other character you would like. Just ring or e-mail.
