Vesper Fiendish is the velvet-voiced, sharp-tongued songwitch of the Whiskey Witches of Willy Nilly, weaving bawdy toasts, haunting ballads, and riotous pub songs into a single, spellbinding set. A fan-favorite on the lanes of the Ohio Renaissance Festival and beyond, Vesper stirs together tight harmonies, wicked humor, and a deep love of whiskey lore, enchanting audiences whether she’s leading a rowdy chorus or spinning a quieter story over the last pour of the night.
Offstage, Vesper Fiendish is brought to life by performer and whiskey enthusiast Kerry Brooks, whose decades of experience in entertainment, hospitality, and spirits give the character her signature blend of charm and mischief. When Kerry isn’t raising a glass with the Whiskey Witches at tastings, festivals, and special events, she’s dreaming up new shenanigans and fresh ways to bewitch audiences—one song, one story, and one delicious dram at a time.
Morla of the Whiskey Witches is the sharp-tongued songstress of Willy Nilly, a seasoned enchantress whose love of good whiskey is matched only by her knack for leading a rowdy chorus. Equal parts hostess and rabble-rouser, she guides guests through spirited tastings and bawdy harmonies, turning every show into a tipsy little legend of its own.
Offstage, Morla is brought to life by performer Tiffani Anglin, a Middletown, Ohio–based musician and vocalist known for her soulful solos, clear harmonies, and playful stage presence. When she is not cackling over a cauldron at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, Tiffani can be found crafting vocal arrangements, performing with local bands, and putting her costuming skills to work behind the scenes to keep the witches looking wickedly wonderful.
Fizzgig of the Whiskey Witches is the chaos in the cauldron: a quick-witted, wild-hearted witch with a drummer’s pulse and a prankster’s grin, just as likely to start a drum break as a drinking game. She barrels through the tasting pavilion with fizzing energy, banging on tabletops, hyping the crowd, and turning every whiskey pour into a riot of laughter, mischief, and music.
Fizzgig is portrayed by performer Kara Ragland, a multi-talented entertainer and vocalist whose work ranges from live music projects like Fiendish to immersive festival shows. Offstage, Kara brings a professional background in entertainment and child care to her creative life, balancing band rehearsals, character work, and costuming with the same bright, encouraging spirit that makes Fizzgig a fan favorite in Willy Nilly.
