Bil Lepp as Teller-In-Residence at International Storytelling Center

Bil Lepp is an internationally-known storyteller, author, and recording artist whose style has been described as a satisfying blend of Bob Newhart and Jeff Foxworthy. A five-time champion of the West Virginia Liars’ Contest, his outrageous tall-tales and witty stories are a signature of his repertoire.

Lepp has been featured at venues across the nation, including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and Comedy Central. He is the recipient of the NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence award, and his picture book, The King of Little Things, won a Parents’ Choice Gold award.

“Lepp [is] a cross between Dr. Seuss and an old film noir movie narrator. He somehow builds tension throughout the story while making you laugh … an accomplished feat.” – Charleston Gazette
