What is My Show Like?

My show follows a traditional format with a modern twist…

It is enacted by my beautiful and unique collection of hand-carved puppets which I’m confident you will love.

My Punch and Judy puppet play has an emphasis on fast-paced slapstick fun with a large cast of wooden headed characters.  My rendition of the classic fairytale is adapted for modern sensibilities but remains faithful to the mysterious and spooky quality which has led to it being known as “The oldest and wisest story”.

My show runs from a traditional red and white striped “booth” which is can be made small enough for living room parties but once embellished can bring grandeur and aplomb to a carnival, church fete, or street-side setting.

Whether you’re hosting just a few or a few-hundred, pick up the phone and give me a call or shoot me off a text or email.

Who Can Resist?

Professor James is a professional Punch and Judy entertainer who performs shows all around London, Essex and the whole South of England… but doesn’t stop there.  Wales, Yorkshire, Scotland, Stone Henge… He has performed as far afield as North California!

His other specialties include magic, gardening and has a collection of Staffordshire pottery dogs.

Thence to see an Italian puppet play… which is very pretty, the best that ever I saw, and great resort of gallants.
