Warrick Brownlow-Pike

Warrick Brownlow-Pike is a British puppeteer, puppet designer, and writer who performed Gonger on both The Furchester Hotel and Sesame Street since its 48th season. On The Furchester Hotel, he has also done a variety of hotel guest characters. Other than that, Warrick has mostly been an assistant for The Muppets and Sesame characters whenever they make appearances in the UK. Brownlow-Pike was also the lead UK puppeteer for Muppets Most Wanted (as well as playing assorted Muppets). Not only has he worked on Sesame Street and the Muppets, but he also did two Henson Company shows; That Puppet Game Show and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (as several characters and 2nd assistant puppet captain). He must be very talented to perform on all of those productions involving the Muppets, Sesame Street, or other Henson Company projects. Outside of all of that, Warrick Brownlow-Pike has done several outside puppetry work including his best known character Dodge T. Dog. Dodge T. Dog appeared on numerous shows since 2010 and even met Queen Elizabeth II. His other puppetry can be seen on shows like Mongrels, Ed and Oucho's Excellent Inventions, Hacker Time, and Space Pirates, to name a few. Does Warrick ever get exhausted from puppeteering on all of those shows? Brownlow-Pike got to work with other puppeteers like Dave Chapman, David Rudman, Eric Jacobson, & Phil Fletcher, to name a few of them. He's definitely one of the busiest British puppeteers. I also read that from 2001-2005, he worked with Palisades as a "Muppet Consultant" on the figures. Warrick Brownlow-Pike, you are one of the greatest puppeteers to ever work, and the luckiest one to meet the Queen. No puppeteer has even been able to meet Queen Elizabeth II herself. Keep on puppeteering and go make a "Puppet God" out of yourself. And don't stop performing Gonger on Sesame Street and Dodge T. Dog on all of those other media appearances Warrick. You really made a star out of yourself Brownlow-Pike!

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...
