Wingo’s World is the result of a lifelong love of puppeteering. During the pandemic I founded a small business called Puppet Telegrams. People could order personalized greetings from Wingo (and other puppet characters) for their friends and loved ones. After that, I started experimenting with various short form comedy videos featuring the puppets. (See “My Puppet Roommates” on the instagram page). Soon after, I launched “Talk To The Hand”, which featured Wingo the Bat hosting austin musicians for one-on-one interviews and a live performance at a recording studio Bonesaw and I own and operate. (Again, see instagram page).

And then it hit me; what I really wanted to make was a scripted mockumentary-style show featuring Wingo the Bat as a legendary music producer in the Live Music Capital of the World. Held in high esteem, he finds himself in demand by countless bands and artists in Austin. But can they keep up with his frenetic, intimidatingly self-assured style? The pilot episode establishes these dynamics and points toward a series story-arc that will take Wingo on a journey of increased success, hit records, a film festival appearance for his TV show, an eventual fall from grace after becoming too popular and too-cool-for-school, and eventually redemption and self-discovery.
