I Love The Wumpus!
Okay, so Greg The Bunny has been playing on television very regularly here in good old Toronto, Ontario, CANADA. The truth is that it looks like a great show, but I have not been able to get into it. I don’t know why. I’ve tried. But it just hasn’t happened. Now the one thing that I can get into is the puppet performances. They are great. It is amazing to me how original some of these characters and performances are. There are several that I think are outstanding. But the one character that just blows me away is The Wumpus. First of all the way he talks is so amazing that I hang on his every word. I honestly think his performer is a genious.Â
As I have watched more and more I can see that the character is a bit violent, but I really do think he is an outstanding character. I remember a while back seeing the website of the person who built the puppet, but I don’t have that information anymore. Also, I couldn’t find out who the performer was. If anyone knows please drop me a line so that I can update this post. If you want to see what an amazing character he is, you can go to The Wumpus’ My Space website or see a great clip of him on You Tube here.
Enjoy.
Hey Kanja,
I believe I read somewhere that Dan Milano plays Wumpus. I checked the clip you have posted and he does sound like a cross between Greg and Warren. I’ll try to find out where I saw it and hopefully get back to you.

Here is Dan’s listing:

I was right it was Dan.
Hey Tom,
Thanks so much for the info. I am so amazed by this guy Dan Milano. Brilliant!
The Wumpus puppet was designed and built by character and puppet designer/builder, Michael Schupbach.
