Yolanda Yott

Yolanda Yott is a Canadian puppeteer, producer, comic, and writer who is yet another puppeteer who hasn't performed any Muppet characters but should. She performed one of the ants on Ants in Your Pants (replacing Helene Beaulieu) as well as a live puppet show tour across California. Yolanda got to perform alongside Marty Stelnick, Ben Deutsch, and Colin Penman on the former show and probably met others during the latter. Yott is also one of the key people at Beachwood Canyon Productions, a company that did shows such as The Parker-Andersons, Flower in the Garden, and My Perfect Landing, to name a few. I've read that she started her production career at Nelvana before doing many adventures until joining the company she works at today. It would appear that the company she works at also did shows involving puppetry which must mean she puppeteered there too. I only wish Yolanda Yott would do projects by the Henson Company in the future so she could meet the Muppet performers. Personally, I think she would have been perfect to do Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock since it's taped in Canada where she lives. But that's just a thought, it won't actually happen, but you never know. All the while, Yolanda is still doing wonderful at Beachwood Canyon Productions and will probably continue to do so for the near future. Maybe Yott never even heard of the Henson Company like lots of other puppeteers across Canada and the world. I wonder what sort of shows she performed stand-up comedy in since there isn't anything mentioned about it yet. Maybe someday more information about her will come up online and people will know more about her and what she's done. Yolanda Yott, you're a great puppeteer and executive producer and Beachwood Canyon Productions. I hope you'll keep working there making more shows. And maybe someday, someone will tell you about the Henson Company. Until then, keep up the fantastic work at Beachwood Canyon Productions Yolanda. You're a real natural Yott!
