Travis Frost

Travis Frost is a German puppeteer who has served as an occasional Muppet performer on the German co-production of Sesame Street, Sesamstrasse since 2011. For the show and its related media, he played various minor characters, did additional right-handing, and occasionally performed Cookie Monster and Elmo. During the 40th anniversary, Travis co-developed and taught a puppetry workshop for children, touring Germany from 2012-2013. It would appear that Frost is more than an occasional assistant on the show and its related media since he played Cookie Monster in a behind the scenes documentary and the 40th anniversary episode. Not much is known about this performer outside of Sesamstrasse, at least not yet. Apparently, this puppeteer is mostly recognized for doing the show and its related media like Eine Mohre fur Zwei for example. But I wonder how Travis Frost learned to speak German since he is from Salt Lake City, Utah before moving to Germany to perform on Sesamstrasse. He probably took courses before the move or maybe he studied the language in college maybe. Even so, he's still doing wonderful on Sesamstrasse and its related media since joining the crew, even though it's mostly occasional. Travis should consider being a full-time performer on the show and get his own main character. Frost has done Cookie Monster a couple of times so maybe in the future, he'll perform the monster full-time. But that's only an option, he probably has a busy schedule outside which makes sense. Until he does get a main character, he should continue performing minor characters and right-handing too. Travis Frost, you've really become a pro on Sesamstrasse since joining in 2011. Keep on performing on the show and related media with your friends like Uta Jacobi, Charlie Kaiser, Iris Schleuss, and many others. You'll become one of the main performers in no time, I'm sure. Until then, great work Travis. Give a hand Frost!

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...

Claire Roi Harvey

Claire Roi Harvey is a puppeteer and performer whose only Henson Company show she ever worked on was The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know why she hasn't performed in other Henson projects or even assisted the Muppets for Muppets Most Wanted. Clare has been a puppeteer for film, TV, theatre, and commercials. Outside of The Dark Crystal, she has worked on various other projects such as Feeling Better, three Star Wars films, and Doctor Who, to name a couple. She must have been pretty lucky to work with many creature/puppeteer teams bringing incredible characters to life. Harvey at least had a chance to perform with many Muppet puppeteers such as Damian Farrell, Brian Herring, Dave Chapman and many more. Claire is probably a pretty busy woman to perform in many productions either on-screen or on-stage that feature puppetry. She seems to be like most Muppet performers, and that's performing well with both children and adults for television and film. Harvey also does...
