In 1995 he took his Fit-up to St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden to perform at Punch’s birthday celebration resulting in being invited to become a member of the Punch and Judy Fellowship and the privilege of being endowed with the title of Professor.
Punch and Judy continues to thrive despite the X box and the Wi probably because of its versatility and the interaction it encourages with it’s audience, He has never done the same show twice and it’s not because he has forgotten his lines, it’s usually an excitable little person in the audience responding to some action or phrase in the show then he has to adlib and change the routine slightly to accommodate their response, and it’s this unknown factor that keeps the show exciting and alive.
