Yep -- Stelling was actually describing a Punch & Judy show. For anyone unfamiliar with Punch & Judy, it's basically an unsettlingly violent puppet show aimed at children that's been tradition at British seaside spots for many, many years.

The shows aren't anywhere nears as common as they used to be, but they do still pop up in touristy places now and again. They involve audience interaction ("Oh no he didn't!" etc.), puppets hitting each other with bats and -- as Stelling references -- thieving crocodiles.

Here's an example of Punch & Judy in action:

You've got to hand it to Stelling; his post really is an A+ piece of trolling.
