Geoff Redknap

Geoff Redknap is a puppeteer and makeup artist who has performed in two Muppet TV movies, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and The Muppets Wizard of Oz. It's a shame he only performed background characters, but then again he probably didn't feel like he was perfect enough. Geoff has also did three Creature Shop projects; Cats & Dogs, Snow Dogs, and Turkey Hollow. Redknap is shown to be very experienced in doing films that have special effects. Outside of the Muppets and Creature Shop, his film puppetry work includes Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Scary Movie, The Santa Clause 2, and many more. His only known TV work was on Stargate SG-1 puppeteering Asgard. Puppeteers that got to work with Geoff Redknap have included Jeny Cassidy, James Rowley, and Jason Hopley, just to name a few. I read that he also works as a prosthetic or special-effects makeup artist, as can be seen on The Stand (2020) and the Deadpool movies. There are a bunch of other things he's good at, he just does not do it as often as he does puppetry and makeup effects. Recent works of Geoff include Ghostbusters: Afterlife and The Adam Project, and probably a whole lot more films and shows in the future. There is nothing Redknap can't do to make special-effects and makeup look so divine. I just hope he'll continue alternating with puppetry and makeup in the future so that people will recognize him for his creative art skills. Not to mention, he should meet up with the Muppets again when he's a free. Geoff Redknap, you have been amazing in the puppet and makeup department for many years. If you keep this up, then it'll be time for you to become a special effects legend. Just be sure you'll visit the Creature Shop again real soon, there isn't another man who is tantalizing like you. Great work Geoff. Super duper Redknap!

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
