Sayma Karim

Sayma Karim is a Bangladesh puppeteer whose only known work was performing and voicing Tuktuki on the Bangladeshi co-production of Sesame Street, Sisimpur. I don't know why there isn't a lot of info about her on the Wiki. Maybe Sayma didn't have a chance to work outside of the series since it ran for 4 years. It would appear that Karim needs to reveal to an interviewer on what other shows she performed in. At least she got to work alongside other puppeteers like Parvin Paru & Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed, the former sometimes assists her in performing Tuktuki. Sayma Karim is not the only puppeteer to have not a lot of info about herself, others include Lynn Hippen, Aurorah Allain, and Charlotte Duberry, yet they are not from Bangladesh like her. The trouble with international puppeteers these days is that they don't give a lot of information about themselves. She shouldn't be one of those people, she should tell people what she does outside of Sisimpur so she can be more recognized for her talents. Sayma has technically become well known for performing Tuktuki, even though that's what she's only known for. Karim must be a well secretive puppeteer who doesn't share info about what other puppet shows she has done. I just hope that someday she will be interviewed and translated into a podcast. Sayma Karim, even though the Wiki doesn't have enough info about you, you're still considered well known for a character. I only wish that you will come out of secrecy and reveal to people what other shows you puppeteered in, or at least to your co-workers. There's always a chance for you to try. Nothing to it Sayma. Think about it Karim!

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...
