Jeghetto and the 'Superheroes Puppet Parade' marched down Beale Street

Jeghetto is a Memphis puppeteer who said that puppetry is "the ultimate story telling medium."

Famous puppeteer "Jeghetto" and his youth crew displayed their puppeteering talents earlier today on Beale Street. 

The "Superheroes Puppet Parade" ran from Fourth to Second and then to Handy Park on Saturday.  

Jaghetto is a Memphis-based puppeteer who said that puppetry is "the ultimate story telling medium." 

"When you see live actors, you could have issues with that person, but to have someone focus on in inanimate object where you can't project anything onto it but what they are experiencing  — that's the magic of it," he said.

After the parade Jeghetto performed puppet shows for everyone in attendance.

The Pennsylvania-native has had the pleasure of working with Missy Elliot for her music video "WTF (Where They From)" as well as an Amazon Echo commercial. Also known as Tarish Pipkins, he is married with five children of his own.
