Victor Yerrid

Victor Yerrid is puppeteer, voice actor, and director who is known in the Muppet world as Waldorf and other characters in the online series From the Balcony. He didn't start puppeteering with the Muppets, he started out in the Muppet Workshop on Muppet from Space, assisting Ed Christie. Victor also did many Henson shows such as Bear in the Big Blue House, Pajanimals, and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, to name a few. Yerrid has mainly done Henson Alternative productions like Puppet Up, No You Shut Up, and the film The Happytime Murders. Outside of the Muppets & Henson, he puppeteered on various TV and online videos, teaming up with Drew Massey. His puppetry placed him on Greg the Bunny, The Book of Pooh, Crank Yankers, and Mutt & Stuff, to name a few. Victor Yerrid also voice acted on many projects such as Robot Chicken, MAD, Drawn Together, and several video games. On YouTube, I saw a channel in which he performed in videos and also wrote, produced, and directed them too. His website states that he even performed in orchestras touring the world with his puppet character Leopold the Leopard. Victor is still performing with the Henson Company today as seen on Earth to Ned, Duff's Happy Fun Bake Time, and Slumberkins. Yerrid also worked with other puppeteers besides Massey such as Donna Kimball, Colleen Smith, Paul Rugg, and Dave Chapman, to name a few. Let's hope he'll continue to puppeteer, voice act, and direct for television and internet today. Not only is he a stage/screen success but he's also an internet success. Victor Yerrid, you've entertained over a million people during your life. Keep up the great work with the Henson Company as well as with your outside career. You are one terrific and musical man. Pleasant puppetry Victor. You're a real master Yerrid!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
