[Mr Punch dances about with his stick. While doing so up comes Joey the clown behind him and taps him on the back. Mr Punch spins around but Joey quickly pops down again.]

Punch: What was that? [To the audience on one side of the theatre] Was that you?
(If while performing the show you happen to hear someone’s name mentioned you can use their name during this sequence.) Joey pops up behind and bops Punch on the head again.]

Punch: Crept up behind me did you? I’ll catch you yet. [Punch goes over to the other side of the stage and looks around the curtain. Joey pops up and waves to the audience and then ducks down again. Punch spins around but misses him. Joey pops back up again.

Joey: Hello Mr Punch, it’s me Joey the clown. [Turns to the audience] Hello everybody! I’m Mr Punch’s friend Joey the clown. [Punch creeps up behind him and swings with his stick but Joey once again dodges his blow] How do you do Mr Punch? You feel good.

Punch: Me feel better if you stood still [Swings and misses again.]

Joey: I say Mr Punch how would you like some lunch. I’ve got some sausages down stairs.

Punch: Yes please, me very hungry. [Tries one last time to hit Joey but misses again and he leaves his stick on the play board.]
[Joey returns with a string of four sausages]

Joey: Look Mr Punch I’ve got four lovely sausages here. One for you, one for me, one for (name of someone in the audience) and one for dessert. [He hands the sausages to Punch] You look after them while I go down to get the frying pan. Now Mr Punch don’t eat any of the sausages while I’m gone. [To the audience] Now you see to it that Punch doesn’t eat the sausages. Won’t you everybody?

Punch: Four lovely sausages I think I’ll eat them all right now. Shall I have a sausage?
[Audience shouts and Joey pops back up.]

Joey: Now Mr Punch. Don’t eat the sausages. Promise now.

Punch: [Nodding his head] No, no me promise. [Joey exits. Punch looks about.] Has he gone? Me very hungry.
