Jamie Shannon is a Canadian Writer/Producer/Puppeteer who has created unique offbeat puppet productions for television including Nickolodeon’s “Mr. Meaty,” popular with teenagers, “CBC’s Nanalan,” for much younger children and, most recently, “The Barbarian and the Troll.”

At Puppets Up!, he will present “The Making of Mr Meaty and Nanalan,” and show videos about his career in television which will appeal to kids 12+ and adults who enjoy hearing about behind-the-scenes antics during the production of a TV show and learn something about how to put a show together. 

Jamie will also be participating in the Saturday Night Adult Cabaret.
