Paul Currie



Paul Currie (b. ca. 1975) is a puppeteer who plays lead Muppet Potto on Sesame Tree, the Sesame Street co-production in Northern Ireland.

A native of Newtonabbey, Currie made and performed his own puppets and claims "I just wanted to be Jim Henson, but I couldn't grow a beard." He learned of the planned Northern Irish Sesame show from a festival encounter with Lisa Henson. As with the other Sesame Tree performers, he trained with Martin P. Robinson in the initial audition workshop and in preparation for the series.
