We're finishing up Fan Appreciation Month with an
incredible visit from our friend Martin Robinson. Martin is the
legendary puppeteer you know from Sesame Street, Little Shop of
Horrors, and the new show from Sesame Workshop and Apple TV+
Helpsters where he performs Mr. Primm. His Halloween-horror
musical-comedy All Hallows Eve had its first off Broadway run last
October.
As a returning guest, Martin catches up on various developments
since our last conversation including filming content for Sesame
Street and Helpsters from his home, his process for accessing the
characters he performs, and what it meant to finally see his
passion project make its way to a live theatrical audience. We also
discuss a topic he most wanted to bring up, what style of puppetry
he hopes will see a resurgence, and what he does to stay in
character while performing Mr. Primm! PLUS: he shows us the furry
star to one of his "pet" projects Taxi Dog.
