Punch and Judy is a traditional, popular English puppet show featuring the characters of Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically the anarchic Punch and one other character. The show is traditionally performed by a single puppeteer, known since Victorian times as a "professor".
The English Punch is associated with the Greek Pan who is associated with Herne, the Hunter in Celtic mythology. We all know who grow up on Herne Hill in London.
