Friday Fun: The 2009 Covent Garden May Fayre

The Punch & Judy Fellowship
Compliments of our friends at the Punch & Judy Fellowship, this fun video from the 2009 Covent Garden May Fayre shows several of the many Punch & Judy Professors who exhibited their many talents at this all-Punch event. This video was recorded by Chris van der Craats who is known as “Professor Whatsit” and who, in addition to being a grand performer, creates some of the most attractive puppets for sale anywhere.

This is a great video in that it shows a variety of different professors and their individual puppets—each of which is wonderful in its own way. Of course, we see Mr. Punch trying to teach the baby to walk. And, of course, he becomes frustrated and grinds the child into sausage—as one does. I love seeing this various performances. I hope you enjoy it!
