{{Short description|Main character in a French puppet show}} {{more citations needed|date=September 2022}} {{stack|[[Image:Guignol.jpg|thumb|280px|A Guignol show being performed in Paris.]]}} '''Guignol''' ({{IPA|fr|ɡiɲɔl|lang}}) is the main character in a French [[Puppetry|puppet show]] which has come to bear his name. It represents the workers in the silk industry of France. Although often thought of as children's entertainment, Guignol's sharp wit and linguistic verve have always been appreciated by adults as well, as shown by the motto of a prominent [[Lyon]] troupe: "Guignol amuses children… and witty adults."{{citation needed|date=September 2022}}
