Nina Conti

On that episode, Conti noted that she inherited the Granny puppet from Ken Campbell on Campbell's death.<br /><br /> In 2012, Conti appeared in Russell Howard's Good News with Granny. She also used a mask on an audience member to convince him to dance.<br /><br /> Monk is a depressed monkey who is constantly insulting Nina and swearing when he does not have his demands fulfilled. He often deliberately shows irritation towards performing on stage, as when Nina responds saying she doesn't know if she has repeated her act on stage, Monk quickly vanishes into the bag and says: You're on your own, bitch! Monk also often disagrees with Nina and makes Nina laugh at his words.<br /><br /> Granny is an elderly Scotswoman to whom Nina refers as someone who is a lot like her own grandmother. Granny often chides Nina for the simplest things Nina has done; for instance, when Nina reveals she has two legs, Granny responds by saying "Oh, two legs? You're spoiling me!" Her main act is to telepathically guess numbers or words, which she always guesses correctly. She also talks about her dead husband, Frank. Granny refers to people with words like "dear", "child" or "my daughter". Granny was retired to Vent Haven Museum in July 2009, in memoriam of Ken Campbell, from whom Nina received her but Conti had a replica made which she continues to use in her acts. Read Less
