Darci Lynne Farmer

Darci Lynne Farmer is a ventriloquist and singer who has done ventriloquism since 2014 when she was 10 years old. She must have been known as the youngest ventriloquist in America, so far at least. Darci appeared with Rowlf the Dog in 2018 at the taping of America's Got Talent: The Champions where they performed "Can't Smile Without You" together. Farmer must have been really excited to work with Bill Barretta, one of the current Muppet performers. I've read that she was very shy to perform in front of an audience as a child, but with help from her parents she overcame that shyness and is now a big star. She performed a lot of ventriloquist puppets, some of the names included Edna, Petunia, Oscar, Katie, and more. I would say that Darci Lynne Farmer has reinvented ventriloquism to be more full of laughs. She appeared on various shows and competitions such as America's Got Talent (winner in Season 12), All That, and Nickelodeon's Unfiltered, to name a few. In addition to ventriloquism, she is also an excellent singer heard singing while doing her puppets for many international appearances. Darci is still working with her characters today and might still do ventriloquism for the future. Farmer was inspired to work with puppets by another ventriloquist named Terry Factor who also made an appearance with a Muppet character, Kermit the Frog to be precise. Other ventriloquists would probably be jealous by her swell performances since childhood. Darci Lynne Farmer, if it wasn't for your parents, you would never have been the star you are today. I hope that someday you'll make another guest appearance with a Muppet character like Fozzie Bear or Gonzo or maybe the whole gang on their next project. I'd say you hold the record for being the 1st child ventriloquist today. Congrats to you & your puppets Darci. Ciao Farmer!

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...

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...
