The Punch & Judy College of Professors is your gateway to the world of leading Punch and Judy performers in the UK and the Punch & Judy tradition. The Punch and Judy Show has a long and colourful history so step inside the little wooden world of Old Red Nose (as Mr. Punch is known among friends) and find out why generations of fans have been "as pleased as Punch" by his flamboyant disregard of convention and why he still convulses his audiences with laughter as he moves gleefully on into the 21st Century. Here you can find out the history of Mr. Punch and his wife Judy, have some current Punch and Judy myths exploded, post a question on the Punchlines Message Board, meet some of Punch's overseas cousins, visit the College shop, read the Slapstick Symposium papers, subscribe to a free blog and learn what the Punch & Judy College of Professors has done to celebrate the centuries-long career of the red nosed star of the show. As Mr. Punch himself puts it "That's The Way To Do It!"
