Vernon Cox is the Maine humorist and Storyteller that created the Tall Taleoligist Willey Phinedit (Will E Find-it) and Learnin Vernon the teller of Legends, Lore, and a whole lot more. Willey Phinedit blends facts with fiction in an original concoction using the Down East humor traditions of old, blending folk with original tales of fantasy as dry as your morning toast and as fresh as your next cup of coffee!
Willey often includes interactions with his audiences and he peppers his performance with lots of clichés, and puns which may not be suitable for young children. Parents and their offspring would not be offended by his performances; however the lines go so above the young ones heads they may struggle reaching for them.
Learnin Vernon draws on voice characters, audience participation, laughter and drama, to provide a storytelling experience that will entertain and enlighten listeners of all ages.
What others say:
“You were wonderful, as usual, as Learnin Vernon and Willey Phinedit unforgettable characters. That mind of yours must be going all of the time to come up with some real winners.”

“Vernon has the ability to take you anywhere his story is created. It may be in Baxter State Park, the streets of India, or even in a pond.
He has the gift to hold his audience in the palm of his hand.”

The puns are good, the acting better.”
