Punch & Judy

A man in a gray and white vest and dress shirt pointing at a clock on a puppet show sign. The sign features a clown and is titled 'Punch & Judy Puppet & Light Show,' with colorful graphics and text, against a black background.
A large group of children sitting on the grass outdoors, many wearing red hats, watching a puppet show or performance on a colorful puppet stage surrounded by trees.

Quite simply it's the world’s most popular puppet show and voted a British Icon by the public of Great Britain.

"Professor" Count Backwards is the most skilled Punch and Judy Entertainer in the Bournemouth & Dorset area and a member of the Punch and Judy Federation.

Our show is based on big laughs, lots of fun audience participation and has been altered to suit modern sensibilities without losing any of the riotous fun associated with this much loved scoundrel!

There are all the usual suspects (think hungry crocodiles and jumping spiders), as well as some brand new surprises too!

This show has been carefully thought out so as to be hugely entertaining but completely inoffensive so book our show and find out why Mr Punch is one of our best loved characters!

Our full sized “fit-up” is painted with the iconic red and white candy stripes, the fascia boards are all beautifully painted by a specialist sign writer; we use a radio mic system with quality speakers to ensure everyone can hear the show, even over the excited shouts of the children!

You can book Punch & Judy for your children’s party or for a larger indoor or outdoor event.
