Performers
The Avalon Cast
Introducing the Cast of Avalon. The Lady Elaine of Glamorganshire, sister of the beloved King Arthur , welcomes all to the annual celebration of her brother's coronation. But beware! Queen Guinevere must be protected from the evil designs of Morgan la Fey, who seeks to ransom the queen for Arthur's crown.
The Court will hold a Commissioning Ceremony each day of the Faire, awarding titles of honor to those who wish to be recognized. Is it your birthday? Alert a Cast member and walk the Parade as our invited guest. Meet us in the lanes to chat or mayhaps share a meal. And don't be too surprised if a scuffle ensues over who spilled who's ale! All of this and more is presented in the lanes and on the stages of Avalon Faire by this talented troupe, the Cast of Avalon.
The Bard O'Neill
Join the Diane Linn - the Bard O'Neill on musical adventures from one time into another and back again. The songs are your choice, "sweet or saucy," that the Bard will pick from her repertoire. No two sets are ever the same and the Craic is grand! Visit her website to view her extensive touring experience and sample songs from all five independent CDs. Diane plays guitars (6 & 12 string), bodhram (the Celtic drum) and sings with gusto and compassion. She is a consummate entertainer who delights in rapport with new friends and old!
Bohemian Jewels
Come, be captivated by Avalon's dancing ladies. The Bohemian Jewels are bellydance enthusiasts from all over East Texas performing eclectic styles of dance. We have fun and truly enjoy dancing and it shows in every performance. Visit us each week at the Treehouse Stage!
Bramble & Thorn
These are two mischievous goblin characters. They like to tease the humans, and show how "goofy" humans are by presenting all the weird objects that humans use in their lives. Thorn thinks he knows everything about humans, but usually gets it wrong, while Bramble just adores them and thinks they are the cutest and best thing ever. They have a tendency to "mis-perceive" and "misunderstand" what those silly humans say. They hope to one day join the humans and blend in seamlessly with them (which they do badly, of course, since they are goblins). This show is a blend of storytelling, songs, a "What Type of Goblin are You?" audience participation game, and an interactive quest into strange human objects.
Broadsides and Ballads
Songs, tunes, and stories in the Irish, Scottish, and English ballad tradition. Travellers' songs, sea chanties, medieval dance tunes, and other odds and ends.
The Courting Jesters
Not just Jesters of the court, but also courters of the heart! Ace and Rosie are a delightful duo of fools with unbelievable talent and undeniable chemistry. Together they perform incredible acrobatic feats that combine their disciplines into truly awe-inspiring moments.
Dani Bliss
Dani Bliss is an entertainer based out of Houston, TX. She has been thrilling audiences with her unique blend of circus and sideshow since 2013. She is known for a wide array of daring and dangerous feats. See her twirl multiple hula hoops around her body at once, hammer a spike into the center of her skull, walk up a ladder of razor sharp swords among many other stunts.

Thom Bedlam
Captain Thom Bedlam is landlocked, bored, and bursting with thomfoolery. It's an array of magical mayhem, the sharing of vastly inaccurate knowledge, and gregarious (if ineffective lessons) on piracy. Of all the lying, cheating, unscrupulous scoundrels you'll ever meet, you'll like him the best. He is not so much memorable as he is hilariously traumatizing!
