Geoff Felix

Geoff Felix is a British puppeteer, puppet maker, and author who performed within several Muppet and Creature Shop productions since the 1980s. He was heavily involved with both the UK and French co-productions of Fraggle Rock, puppeteering Gobo and assisting Sprocket and Traveling Matt. Geoff has also did Muppet stuff such as The Tale of the Bunny Picnic, The Muppets Christmas Carol, and Muppet Treasure Island. Felix even did two projects by the Creature Shop, Labyrinth and The Storyteller. How come he stopped assisting the Muppets after 1996? He was probably to busy with his outside puppetry work. Geoff Felix is perhaps best known for being a Punch and Judy puppeteer and historian, penning many books starring them. His other outside puppetry work has been seen on Riff and Raff, Huva and Thing, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (to name a few). He got to work alongside puppeteers like Karen Prell, David Barclay, Mike Quinn and more. Geoff is yet another puppeteer to be involved with Punch and Judy; the others being Richard Coombs, Mike Petersen, and Ian Thom. I hope Felix will work with either the Muppets or Creature Shop again real soon, because they're always making more. The time for him to assist or perform will come to him. He's even been involved with radio programs, like some of the people who have worked with the Muppets over the years. Geoff Felix, I hope you keep on working with Punch and Judy for many years. And maybe someday, rejoin the Muppets when they're in the UK again. Geoff still has a chance to become a Muppeteer like the others. Fantastic puppetry work Felix!

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

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
