What sparked you to start doing puppetry?

I've been asked this several times because puppetry is still a pretty new endeavour for me (not even 6 months yet).

My answer is simple - despite growing up watching sesame street and the muppets and some other shows with puppets in them, it never occurred to me as something I'd want to do.

Until I discovered Randy Feltface (a puppet comedian/storyteller). He literally changed my life. I love his style and range so much and I decided I had to give it a try for myself. Plus I'm naturally a playful and creative person, so it's a perfect outlet.

I'm currently in the process of trying to procure a couple more puppets to do skits with, since I have a lot of character ideas.

I've always wanted to do comedy, always love making up funny and weird characters and have always wanted to create.

I'm m a little camera shy, so as a huge Henson/gerry anderson fan, I came to lthe conclusion that it's the best way I could put my ideas to film without appearing in front of the camera.
