John Pattison

John Pattison is a Canadian puppeteer, ventriloquist, writer, and producer who performed a variety of characters on Fraggle Rock and served as an additional performer. He also co-wrote one of the second season episodes on that show. John has also performed in the first Sesame Street film Follow That Bird as one of the Board of Birds members during the beginning. Outside, Pattison performed on Groundling Marsh (as Hegdish), Eric's World (as C.J. and also was the co-creator), an episode of The Zack Files, and on an episode of Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show (as himself with his ventriloquist dummy Garloo). He also served as co-creator, writer, and producer of Comedy Central's series Puppets Who Kill which came from a Fringe Festival one-man show. He seems to be a very talented person, not to mention a guy with a great sense of humor. John Pattison also puppeteered in two feature films, The Santa Clause (uncredited) and Bride of Chucky. As a ventriloquist/comedian, he traveled the world, performing from many theatres to festivals which was where he wrote Puppets Who Kill. In addition he also wrote the play Waiting for Jack, a puppet play about suicide. John seems to be more acquainted with adult issues nowadays with Puppets Who Kill and such. I read online that Pattison is developing a feature film version of PWK and is currently writing several plays and projects. I'm not sure if that is still true today because nobody has heard from him for a while. But whatever the case, he still did great with both kids and adults across Canada and the wide world with his ventriloquism. John Pattison you are definitely one of the funniest puppeteers and ventriloquists on the Wiki. Fraggle Rock must have made you the star you are today with all the shows. I hope you'll remember how much you enjoyed that show and other projects. Until then, keep on giving laughs John. Yuck up the humor Pattison!

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...
