His work with The Jim Henson Company has seen him perform as various characters in The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, Labyrinth and the ground breaking Netflix series Dark Crystal – Age of Resistance. His puppet skills have also been used over the years by a wide range of productions including Beauty and the Beast, The Mighty Boosh and as Sweep in The Sooty Show.
He is most closely associated with the Children’s TV character Zippy from Rainbow whom he has performed since 1973. His relationship with Zippy continues to this day. Ronnie recently published his book Zippy and Me which will be available at the event on the day, or from Amazon and all good bookshops. Ronnie will be accompanied by our next guest……… Zippy!
