Mikey Brett

Mikey Brett is a British puppeteer and puppet builder who has performed various guests on the second season of The Furchester Hotel. He also served as an additional UK Muppet performer within Muppets Most Wanted, but he was uncredited for assisting. Mikey should have received credit for assisting since there might not be another Muppet production in the UK for a long time. I also think Brett should have assisted the Muppets when they performed live at the O2 Arena. But I guess he was too busy with other projects to do so. Mikey Brett's latest job with the Henson Company was on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, as an additional puppeteer. Outside of Sesame Workshop and Muppets, he has puppeteered in many projects such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Newzoids, and Strange Hill High, just to name a few. He also served as a puppet builder for Mongrels and visual effects puppeteer for Aladdin (2019). I believe that Mikey is the only puppeteer to work on something involving Pokemon. Brett should work with the Henson Company again real soon, since they're still working. His recent work was in a short called Astronaut where he played the title character. I'm sure he misses the Muppets. Mikey Brett, you are a unique puppeteer since you did a Pokemon film two years ago. Maybe someday, there could be a crossover thing with Muppets and Pokemon. You never know if the Muppet performers will play some kind of Pokemon game. If that happens Mikey, the person they might contact is you. Good job Brett!

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...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
