''Connie'' is a British comedy-horror short released in 2016. It stars Creator/CatrinStewart as a wannabe stand-up comic named Dolly Diggs. She lacks the confidence needed to be a successful comedian but that changes when she purchases a puppet called Connie. Unfortunately, Connie turns out to be far more than just a puppet.
----
!!This short provides examples of:
* AlliterativeName: The protagonist's name is Dolly Diggs.
* AsHimself: Author Creator/KimNewman appears as himself in a documentary about ventriloquism that Connie watches on TV. He says that ventriloquism is more or less dead as an art form, angering Connie.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Connie successfully transfers her soul into Dolly's body after apparently strangling her to death.]]
* CreatorCameo: Writer-director Cat Davies is seen briefly as another comedian.
* EvilDoll: Connie seems harmless enough at first but lets the success of her and Dolly's act go to her head. When Dolly refuses to bring her along to a date, Connie decides to take revenge by [[spoiler:killing Dolly and taking over her body]].
* ImagineSpot: Dolly imagines herself onstage with Connie and getting rapturous applause.
* LadySwearsalot: Connie has a filthy mouth which proves to be an asset for Dolly's act.
* MeaningfulName: Dolly has a doll collection.
* NotADate: Dolly says her date with Ollie is just a quick drink but Connie knows better.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Dolly suffers from severe stage fright. She fails to get through her first stand-up act and walks offstage without uttering a word. The MC jokes that she was doing silent stand-up where the jokes are conveyed through telepathy.
* RiddleForTheAges: How Connie was brought to life and the fate of her previous owner(s) are not explored.
* ShoutOut: To ''Film/TheShining'' when Connie jumps up behind Dolly and says "Here's Connie!".
* {{Tagline}}: "She's nobody's puppet…"
* WhamShot: [[spoiler:The last shot reveals that Ollie's puppet Hank is also alive.]]
