Tau Bennett

Tau Bennett is a child puppeteer who will be guest performing on Sesame Street for season 42. The improvised scene will feature Tau as Puna, a dog, alongside a Kevin Clash character.

Bennett was invited to the premiere of documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey; the invitation was from Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, who met him in Atlanta, and was reminded of Clash. Tau has a roster of 22 characters, including Congo Bird from the Jungle of Smartypansous, Question Heir, Juice the Hippie and Herbert the Hobo.
