Kenny Stevenson

Kenny Stevenson is a comedian, puppeteer, writer, and producer, as well as the husband of puppeteer Dorien Davies. He has performed in Henson Company shows Julie's Greenroom and Duff's Happy Fun Bake Time (as Edgar), and also on Henson Alternative's Stuffed and Unstrung. Other than that, Kenny has mainly been an actor/comedian with recurring parts on several shows. Some other shows Stevenson worked on include This is Us, Comedy Bang Bang, Brooklyn 99, and The UCB Show, just to name a few. As for his writing credits, he made a script called How To Be A Canadian which won 3 awards and also wrote for Love, Sex, and Missed Connections. Besides his wife, some other puppeteers he worked with include Amanda Maddock, John Tartaglia, Paul McGinnis, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo. Personally, I believe that Kenny Stevenson should have been given his own page on the Muppet Wiki since he did 2 projects, the latter of which he did a character. In his recent years, he teamed up with one of the actors of This is Us, creating the writing/producing team of WestSide Stories, making several TV/film projects all of which are in development. There is no telling what project the team will be making next, after the latest short entitled Two Jacked which they acted in too. Kenny should someday puppeteer in another Henson Company project or something by Henson Alternative. Stevenson should have assisted on The Happytime Murders, because then he would perform with Brian Henson and Bill Barretta. I hope he is still working with his partner today, not to mention Henson Company. And who knows, maybe someday he'll assist the Muppets on their next project. Kenny Stevenson, you're a great comedian and you know a lot about behind the scenes work. I'm sure you'll have your own page on the Muppet Wiki soon. Until then, do the work & you might get your chance. Awesome job Kenny. You're a real laugh Stevenson!

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...
