Uncle Chester from The Big Comfy Couch
Uncle Chester (Edward Knuckles) is a character in The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. He is Loonette’s traveling uncle who appears in the final two seasons. His name is believed to be a parody of Uncle Fester from The Addams Family. His outfit is a mishmash of different fabrics and colors — including a bright yellow kilt!
Molly from the Big Comfy Couch
Molly is a character in The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. She is the living clown ragdoll who acts as a sidekick Loonette. They met when Loonette found her in a barrel and adopted her. To Loonette’s disbelief, Molly believes dust bunnies are real. Although she is mostly silent, only nodding or shaking her head, she does communicate through animated speech bubbles.
Granny Garbanzo from The Big Comfy Couch
Granny Garbanzo (Grindl Kuchirka) is a recurring character on The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. She is an elderly clown who lives in a wagon next to a clothes line with her cat, Snicklefritz. She has a heavy European accent, and refers to Loonette with a diminutive “-ka” suffix. Granny often makes references to the old days and the old country. While she provides wisdom to Loonette, she possesses quite a bit of youthful energy. In the later seasons, she has her own cooking show.
Major Bedhead from The Big Comfy Couch
Major Bedhead (Fred Stinson) is a recurring character on The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. He is a clown who delivers the mail on his unicycle. He stops by to give Loonette postcards from her Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester. However, he comes off as quite irresponsible for spending so much time chatting with Loonette and Granny Garbanzo and not delivering packages. Goofy yet clumsy, Major Bedhead possesses many clowning skills such as juggling and pogo sticking. His pet peeves are lying and dishonesty.
Loonette the Clown from The Big Comfy Couch
Loonette (Alyson Court) is the lead character in The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. Loonette is a young clown who lives with her dolly named Molly. Every episode begins with Loonette waking up on the eponymous couch. She reads stories to Molly, performs a Clock Rug Stretch, and completes a Ten Second Tidy. Her family and friends, such as Granny Garbanzo and Major Bedhead, are also clowns. Put your hair into pigtails using the red scrunchies, and cut a hole on either side of the purple hat, then slide your hair through. You can also use a wig with detachable pigtail clips as suggested in this guide. While there isn’t an existing replica of her sweater, you can get away with a plain white long sleeve top. For added detail, you can draw the suns and moons with yellow and red marker.
