That's the way to do it!!


That’s the way to do it!!

On my way into work today, I passed a neighbour as I do most days. This neighbour has a red and white truck parked in his drive, I have known for years that he is the Punch and Judy man but it was only the other day whilst strolling along the promenade that I actually saw him.

Punch and Judy Show
Jason Codman Millband took over the Puppet Show in 2008, he is the fifth generation of the family to run it. He relies totally on audience donations and sales of Punch and Judy souvenirs which he sells from his red and white exhibition trailer between each show.
Llandudno Punch and Judy Show

The Llandudno Punch and Judy show is the longest running puppet show in Britain, founded by Richard Codman in 1860. Originally it was near the Empire Hotel but in 1864 after performing for the Mostyn Estates he was given a pitch on the promenade near to the entrance of the pier.
