Punch & Judy
Hello Welcome to my Punch and Judy Page
My Punch and Judy Programme by Jolly Jingles for schools to tie in with the current curriculum on history of entertainment at the seaside.
The programme is split into two halves which comprises of history of the puppets and includes a approx 15 -20 minutes show. The second half comprises of the workings of the puppets and the puppet theatre. It gives the children an opportunity to study the puppets in more detail and gives the children a hands on practical session of the full workings of the puppets.
Teachers hand notes are supplied with this programme, comprising of full history of Punch and Judy including some notes if required and try to include some dates and information on how it all first started in the U.K.
Pre-School Punch and Judy or Puppet ShowAn introduction to live entertainment which can be any time of the year. The show is with soft puppets (and does not contain any violence). The show is run by Jolly Jingles who also puts makeup on at the event giving a soft introduction to the art of clowning.
Punch and Judy Party time
Jolly Jingles meets Mr Punch
y
Mr Punch can visit your party with Jolly Jingles the clown and put on a Funny great show , the story is adapted to suit all the whole family and even contains a few old favourites that brings a great surprise. 
I also do a Punch and Judy show at parties and Special events and have performed this same show to crowds as large as 400 people to small parties in their front rooms. My show is a new modern show and should not afend anyone, In my show I have made it so that it is entertaining and won’t give the children bad ideas to putting things around there necks like the hang man would ( he is now the Robber or you might say the Baddy ) Just ask for a puppet show when you book a party with Jolly Jingles.Traditional style of show can be shown or a more modern type with less violence to suit your event so please ask for more details.Facts about Punch and Judy
