The Baby Tyler Show

Produced by SNAFU
Directed and co-created by by Britt Small (premiere director of Ride the Cyclone)
Performed and co-created by Ingrid Hansen (puppeteer for The Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock and Sesame’s Helpsters)


It’s tough being small when the world is so big. Baby Tyler comes to life in this mind-bending puppet show by Fraggle Rock/Sesame/Henson puppeteer Ingrid Hansen. She lends Tyler a hand and creates a live puppet film before your very eyes, using only household objects, a camera, and her bare hands. Expect a child-friendly puppet show jam packed with physical comedy!

Rated E for Everyone. Too spooky for hoomans under 5 years old.

Danish-Canadian puppeteer Ingrid Hansen also puppeteers on the Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock and Sesame Workshop’s Emmy Award-winning series Helpsters.

“Utterly magical, insanely inventive, wickedly funny. ★★★★★” - Winnipeg Free Press

“Both live and magnified on screen, in cunningly angled cameras and mirrors, we see Hansen create characters from her own hands, fingers, face. NUTTY, INGENIOUS, MESMERIZING.” - 12th Night

“GENIUS PHYSICAL COMEDY!” - Entertainment World

"Immensely funny, creative, uproarious and surprising...Her physicality is impeccable." - The Star Phoenix

“Unbelievably funny.” - PLANK Magazine


The Baby Tyler Show was created with support from the Belfry Theatre, the Capital Regional District Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, and tours with the support of the BC Arts Council.
