Patrick Holmes

Patrick Holmes is a puppeteer who has mainly performed in various Sesame Workshop projects. For work on Sesame Street, he has assisted on specials and outreach projects such as Elmo's Christmas Countdown, Here For You, and Learning is Everywhere (to name a few). Patrick has even performed with them on one of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades, though I don't know which one. Outside of Sesame Street, he's only performed on three other projects and that was SeeMore's Playhouse, It's a Big Big World (serving as a puppet wrangler), and Pigeon-Holed as Pidge. I saw a photo showing Holmes assisting Ryan Dillon on a character at the Garden State Film Festival in the early days. He got a chance to work along with Muppet performers and puppeteers like Lindsey "Z" Briggs, Eric Wright, James Godwin, and Andy Hayward (just to name a few). I wonder what ever happened to Patrick after 2007 since that's the only year he worked on Sesame Street with the Muppet performers. Holmes is probably doing some freelance puppetry on his own time or maybe he's still remembering how much he enjoyed working for Sesame Workshop. He should go back to working on Sesame Street someday, just for old times sake. I also wish Patrick Holmes would've assisted the Muppets whenever they were in New York City like when they took over Today or filmed A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa. I think he will assist the Muppets someday when he has the chance to do so. If anyone can work on Sesame Street, they can work with the Muppets too. Right now Patrick must be at home staying safe and getting ready to puppeteer again. Patrick Holmes, you did a great job helping out at Sesame Workshop and assisting on Sesame Street. I hope you think about performing on that show again someday so you can be a Muppet performer. It might not happen just yet, but soon you'll have your chance to be one. Until then, keep on puppeteering and you'll do great. Nice puppetry Patrick Holmes!
