The Codman family began its centuries with Mr. Punch at the seaside of Llandudno in 1850 when Richard Codman I began performing his celebrated puppet show. His son, Richard II took over the show in 1888. Richard II’s son, Bert, took up the family business until his death in 1969, two days after the passing of his beloved terrier, Dog Toby. In 1961, Jack Codman began performing in the family’s spot on the sea. Jack’s daughter, Jacqueline, took over for her father and now performs as a bottler for her son, Jason, who has ascended as the newest Codman “Professor.” Enjoy this clip from one of Jason Codman’s recent Llandudno shows.
