Charlie Kaiser

Charlie Kaiser is a trained German puppet builder, puppeteer, and writer who is known for performing on Sesamstrasse since 1993. On the show she performed Feli Filu (2000-2003) and Frida not to mention others including further side characters on its spin-off. But wait, Charlie also assists several performers on their characters such as Pferd's hooves, Ernie's right hand, and both of Tiffy's hands alongside Marita Stolze and Sabine Falkenberg. Kaiser got to perform alongside several German performers like Carsten Morar-Haffke, Martin Paas, and Martin Reinl, just to name a few. I have read that before Sesamstrasse, she met Stolze and Kermit Love who both connected her to Hallo Spencer another Studio Hamberg bit featuring puppets. In the picture above she's located in the front with her fellow performers. It appears that Charlie Kaiser is one of the busiest Sesamstrasse performers since she both performed characters and assisted the other performers on their characters. I wonder if she's done other outside work besides Hallo Spencer since she's got to have some free time from Sesamstrasse. If she does, she should discuss this in an interview, whenever the next time that will happen. Charlie should stay on Sesamstrasse until the show stops being in production. Kaiser must have done some puppet building or writing outside of Sesamstrasse, but it's currently unknown what shows she's done either one of those. Maybe when she gets interviewed, her Muppet Wiki page will get updated. We'll just have to wait and see for the future on what happens to her page. Charlie Kaiser, you're a reliable and an incredibly helpful puppeteer when it comes to Sesamstrasse. I hope you'll remain a performer on that show and maybe someday consider being one of the main performers like your friends. Well done Charlie. You've got the power Kaiser!

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...
