Mr Punch has been popular in British culture for over 350 years and despite his ‘behaviour’ being somewhat controversial in the modern age this old time favourite still has a sense of charm about it. The show is suitable for all ages, our professors create that magical type of comedy which appeals to both children and parents allowing for a real family experience.
