Getting Feltfaced - Heath McIvor

Well, this one was a true honour and such a treat. In this special length 90 minute episode I talk with the man under the worlds most famous purple puppet - Heath McIvor. Heath has been a pioneer of the industry for over 15 years, seamlessly merging puppetry with stand up comedy and showing the world that puppets can be for adults too.

This personal hero of mine and I talk about all things Randy from his origins, through to Sammy J and now on his daily Instagram show, Breakfast Songs. We find out how Heath has managed to make his and Randy's lives and stories completely separate and allow Randy to be an actor and comedian in his own right. Heath is an absolute work horse and has reached his audience across multiple platforms. When 190 of his shows were cancelled during the COVID19 pandemic, he took no time to find his presence online and has persevered with his incredibly big plans for the future.

It is my great pleasure to invite you to join Heath and I now, here on Talking Sock.
