Teller-In-Residence: Bil Lepp

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] goes for the funny bone.  He stuffs his hands in his pockets and leans back as he nonchalantly lets drop the zinger to his tale.”  – The Boston Globe
