William Winegardner
(Bubboon, the Royal Fool)

A performer/songwriter originally from Gloucester City, New Jersey, Bill and his songs have appeared in numerous productions for family audiences throughout the United States and abroad.

In 1996, Bill created the popular character Bubboon, the Royal Fool, at the Sterling Renaissance Festival in Upstate NY. Since then Bubboon has been delighting kids of all ages with song and jest.

Prior to creating the character of Bubboon, Bill toured with American Family Theatre, ArtReach Touring Company, The Fountain Square Fools, Nebraska Theatre Caravan, and Stageworks Touring Company.

As a songwriter, Bill has written music and lyrics for three children's musicals. His songs have also been performed in cabaret clubs throughout New York City.

Bill has studied songwriting with Grammy Award winners Henry Gaffney and Hugh Prestwood.

In corporate theatre, Bill has appeared as a number of wacky interactive characters -including a recurring role as Tommy the Tummy, a giant, wise-cracking stomach for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals; Reeve Kerwin, a bumbling Australian naturalist for the American Association of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology; and Jingles, the hard-working elf, for Fox Family Channel.

Bill lives in Bloomfield, NJ with his wife Jennifer and their cats, Molly and Gulliver.
