Jordan Brownlee

Jordan Brownlee is a puppeteer, actor, writer, and impressionist who has recently performed with the Muppets on The Muppets Mayhem as a supporting performer. He has also performed with the Henson Company on 2 projects Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (stage show) and Slumberkins. Jordan was trained to puppeteer by the Muppet Performers of Sesame Street and has since trained other actors to operate puppets as his company Bike City Theatre Company. Brownlee has been one of the company members of Bike City since 2018 when he was randomly selected to perform open mic, must have been his lucky day. As an impressionist, he lent his voice to numerous short films, award ceremonies, & The Empty Iris on Amazon Prime Video. His Bike City acting debut was in a show called Light The Way: a Bike Safety Musical and has since both acted and written Bike City sketches and radio plays, it says it all on his page of the Bike City website. Bike City selecting Jordan Brownlee in 2018 was an excellent choice for he is now one of the key members of the company. The Emmet Otter stage show is perhaps his best known Henson work for he performed Doc Bullfrog in 2021, who also serves as the narrator of the show. He must have been very excited to assist the Muppets on The Muppets Mayhem, even though it was for one episode. Other puppeteers Jordan performed with have included Catrina Quintanilla, Art Vega, David Bizzaro, and Stoph Scheer, just to name a few. If only Brownlee were to tell his friends about Bike City, then they would have wanted him to train new Muppet Performers too. Maybe he will tell them someday and soon he will have his chance. There's always room on the Muppet Wiki for way more performer pages like his. Jordan Brownlee, you've been doing great with both the Muppets and the Henson Company. If you're still at Bike City Theatre Company, keep up the great performances as well as scripts, and you'll become a member of the Muppet family before you know it. Just keep that thought in your head and it could happen. Great performances Jordan. See you "around" Brownlee!

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...
