Friday Fun: The Start of Martin Bridle’s Punch & Judy Show

Professor Martin Bridle

Martin Bridle, one of the foremost Punch & Judy professors in Britain, doesn’t perform much anymore, but when he does, it’s certainly a treat. Each professor begins his (or her) own show a little differently, usually with a lot of spectacle and color. Martin Bridle’s joyful opening involves a host of unique characters and music before the introduction of Joey the Clown who, in turn, welcomes Mr. Punch.
