Anthony Burcher: Humorist

 Award-Winning Storyteller

"He brews up a tincture of tales that is story-medicine worth patenting"

                 -- Milbre Burch

About Anthony

Anthony Burcher grew up in Grafton VA, and now tells of that experience in ways that will make you laugh until your sides split. He spent most of his young life hearing himself described as "He Ain't Right..."


Anthony's gift (or curse) of wit has entertained friends and family for a generation. Now his humor and his mastery of "Spoonerisms" (aka "lackwards ban​guage") entertains audiences in his native Virginia and coast to coast. Anthony's book, 101 Games that Teach Storytelling Skills, has been honored by Storytelling World and his recordings delight listeners of all ages.

Anthony's most recent release, "Anthony Squished My Banana" is now available in the web store.   Give the gift of laughter! A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this recording will support Presbyterian Disaster Relief.
