Emergency Question: Which is the sexiest TV puppet?

Edinburgh Fringe comedians share their kinks...

Every day until the end of the Fringe, we're asking one of Richard Herring's Emergency Questions from the RHLSTP podcast to comedians. Here's today's batch of insights...


Whatever your preference, I think we can all agree that the younger couple of Dolmio puppets are sexier than any real human beings. Tom Little whose show Tom Little Has Good Reviews So Prepare to Be Impressed is on at Subway at 3:45pm

Unfortunately I have to say Kermit but I do get secret fuckboi vibes.  Marcia Belsky whose show Man & Woman is on at Assembly at 6:15pm

The velociraptor from Jurassic Park.  Cerys Bradley whose show Sportsperson is on at Gilded Balloon at 4:40pm

Sam the Eagle. Stoic, cold, blue; sounds like every man I’ve ever convinced myself I was in love with.   Ellie MacPherson whose show Happy Birthday, Mr. President! is on at Underbelly Cowgate at 9:30pm

The real sexy ones are never shown on TV. That's the big secret.  Tom Mayhew whose show Trash Rich is on at The Stand at 9:20pm

The old men in the Muppets.  Alex MacKeith whose show Thanks for Listening  is on at Underbelly at 2:45pm

Definitely Alf. Big BDE.  Rebecca Kaplan whose show Arielle Dundas and Rebecca Kaplan: Parfait is on at Laughing Horse @ City Cafe at 12:05am

The Count- goth vibes and follows his passion? That’s my type on paper.  Or Rosie and Jim - who doesn’t want what they have? Also, in the theme song when Rosie kisses Jim and then the accordion gets big. Is that…that’s an innuendo right? What a couple!  Chelsea Birkby whose show More Mr Nice Chelsea is on at Just the Tonic at The Caves at 3:40pm

Margret Thatcher's Spitting Image Puppet.   Garrett Millerick whose show Just Trying to Help  is on at Monkey Barrel at 11:25pm

The Chef from the Muppets. He can cook, he’s well-groomed, and he has an EU passport.   Luke Rollason whose show Bowerbird is on at Monkey Barrel at 12:30pm

That's the Cookie Monster. Hot as fuck and he knows it. Big mouth, knows how to use it. The Awkward Silence whose show The Awkward Silence's Big Break is on at Gilded Balloon at 2:20pm

Surely it has to be Kermit the Frog. We’ve all seen him in a tuxedo, right? He’s funny, he’s a smart dresser, and his performance as Bob Cratchitt in Muppet’s Christmas Carol is exceptional. Ailis Duff whose show Notflix: Binge is on at Gilded Balloon at 5:00pm

Sooty would get it.  Crizards whose show Cowboys is on at Assembly at 10:15pm

Respectfully, I believe that Oscar the Grouch would fuck good. Kylie Brakeman whose show Linda Hollywood's Big Hollywood Night is on at Gilded Balloon at 7:00pm

Philip Schofield  Kathy Maniura & Derek Mitchell  whose show Horseplay: Bareback is on at Underbelly at 10:30pm

Oscar the Grouch. Hairy, unpleasant guy who smells like trash and lives in an alley? Honey, I'm on my knees.  Leo Reich whose show Literally Who Cares?!  is on at Pleasance Courtyard at 9:35pm

Obviously Gonzo from The Muppets. The things he could do with that nose. Brennan Reece whose show Crowded is on at Pleasance Courtyard at 8:20pm

Miss Piggy. The curves. The attitude!  Casey Balsham whose show Inconceivable  is on at The Mash House at 5:34pm

Janice, the guitar-playing, blonde-haired, head-banging Muppet. Didn't have to think about that answer  Jon Courtenay whose show Against The Odds is on at Gilded Balloon at 6:30pm

I know from experience that Thunderbird 5 is dynamite between the sheets Sean McLoughlin whose show So Be It is on at Pleasance Courtyard at 7:55pm

Better question- which TV puppet ISN'T sexy?  Albert Samuels whose show Shamilton! The Improvised Hip-Musical is on at Assembly at 5:30pm
