Australia's favorite felt-faced comedian is here
Randy, a felt faced comedian who has taken Australia by storm is making his New York debut this year. With his own TV shows in Australia (ABS), the US (Seeso) and in the UK (Netflix) this puppet comedian is truly international. The man behind the puppet, Heath McIvor is a celebrated puppet artist in his native Australia, having worked on touring companies of 'The Hobbit', 'The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe' as well as the internationally acclaimed arena spectacular 'Walking With Dinosaurs.
'Randy Writes a Novel' is a different kettle of fish however, with his seemingly simple creation Randy is a puppet who speaks from the human gaze. As he is struggling to complete his manuscript Randy divulges into tangents from Veganism, Hemingway as well as anecdotes about buying items off Gum Tree. What the audience gets from this experience is a realistically real and personal account from a man that just happens to be a puppet.
