Today we’d like to introduce you to Burger The Monster
Hi Burger, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My career started in 2017, when I began performing with the Puppet Shakespeare Players in NYC. As a “player,” I appeared Off-Off-Broadway in productions of Puppet Macbeth, Puppet Romeo & Juliet, Puppet Hamlet, and Puppet Julius Caesar. While the group is no longer around, I am grateful for the awesome memories and wonderful friends that I made.
Fast-forward to 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic was here and we were all in lockdown. I knew that I needed to continue to bring joy and laughter to the world somehow. But how? The answer was TikTok.
With the help of my pal Spencer Cohen, I joined TikTok in March 2020. Since then, I have gained over 10.5K followers, and two of my videos have gone viral. Thanks to this amazing platform, my work has been shared by brands and celebrities such as WWE and Singer-Songwriter Melissa Etheridge.
Most recently, I joined Cameo. You can purchase a video greeting from me here: cameo.com/burgerthemonster
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
For the most part, it’s been a smooth road. With that being said, success did not come instantly. It took me a solid three years to go viral on TikTok and gain my following. My creative process has entailed a number of risks, challenges, and eventually… success!
Additionally, I think one challenge that I still face is trying to convince people that my videos can be funny not just for children but for adults as well. A lot of individuals automatically assume that because I am a fluffy monster, I only know how to entertain children. And sure, I do like to perform for kids. But the awesome truth is that I love to entertain people of ALL ages!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
As a fluffy monster, my mission is to bring joy to others! Whether I’m on camera or in front of a live audience, I am happiest when making people laugh.
There aren’t many fluffy monsters in show business, so I think that works towards my advantage when it comes to standing out. (With that being said, I am a fan of that other monster who loves cookies.)
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I just want to say thanks for taking the time to read my interview and learn more about me!
