Toby the Dog toby jug produced in Staffordshire, England, circa 1860. Punch and Judy is a traditional puppet show featuring Mr. Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically Mr. Punch and one other character who usually falls victim to Punch's slapstick. The various episodes of Punch comedy, often provoking shocked laughter, are dominated by the clowning of Mr. Punch. A live Toby the Dog was once a regular featured novelty routine, sitting on the playboard and performing with the puppets.
