Wishfart is a fun Canadian animated TV show. It's a comedy with lots of fantasy and strange, funny moments. The series was created by John Hazlett, Lienne Sawatsky, and Daniel Williams. It first aired in the United Kingdom in September 2017 and later in Canada in June 2018. The show is about a teenage leprechaun named Dez who can grant wishes. But his wishes always go wrong! He teams up with his friends, a talking puffin named Puffin and an old ghost girl named Akiko, to fix the messes his wishes create.

Meet the Characters

Main Characters

• Dez (voiced by Mac Heywood): Dez is a shy teenage leprechaun boy. He has a special power: he can grant wishes by shooting a rainbow from his finger! The only problem is, his wishes never turn out quite right. This means he and his friends often have to fix the funny and wild problems that pop up.
• Puffin (voiced by Sergio Di Zio): Puffin is a talking puffin bird who lives with Dez. He can be a bit greedy and lazy, but he's a very loyal friend to Dez. Dez actually granted Puffin the ability to speak with one of his wishes!
• Akiko (voiced by Stephany Seki): Akiko is a playful and sarcastic yūrei, which is a type of ghost. She haunts Dez's apartment and is always a teenager, even though she died centuries ago. Her friends often call her "Keeks."

Other Cool Characters

• Tsuni (voiced by Jordan Todosey): Tsuni is a relaxed mermaid who loves to skateboard. She's Dez's crush and works at a magical comic book store where the friends hang out. She carries a trident that can fold up in her backpack.
• Fireball Cat (voiced by Martin Roach): This mystical cat has fire burning on his head! He owns a noodle soup restaurant that Dez and his friends often visit. Fireball Cat has amazing magical powers and knows almost everything. He can even see the future by looking into his own mouth!
• The King of the Underworld (voiced by Brian Drummond): He's a huge, angry demon who rules the Underworld. Sometimes, he becomes an enemy for Dez and his friends.
• Phil (voiced by Blair Williams): Phil is Dez's uncle. He's a leprechaun who is often grumpy, cynical, and loves money.
• Neptune (voiced by Christian Potenza): This is the God of the Sea. He acts like an overly confident "surfer dude."
• Howie (voiced by Doug Hadders): Howie is a centaur who works for the postal service.
• Samuel (voiced by Doug Hadders): Samuel is a yeti who is always covered in ice cream. He once wished for endless ice cream from Dez, but now he regrets it because he always has a brain freeze and sticky fingers!
• Clooney (voiced by Craig Warnock): Clooney is Dez's leprechaun dad.
• Emer (voiced by Kathy Laskey): Emer is Dez's leprechaun mom.
• Finnuala (voiced by Samantha Weinstein): Finnuala is Dez's rival. She's a leprechaun who works at her dad's facility. Her job is to make sure all leprechauns act exactly how they are expected to.
• Leslie Walderamma (voiced by Darren Frost): Leslie is a very annoying wizard boy.
• Dusty (voiced by Evany Rosen): Dusty is a witch who doesn't like it when people make assumptions about her.
• Gum King (voiced by Juan Chioran): The Gum King is Akiko's enemy. He's a creature made entirely of gum! He came to be after one of Dez's wishes went wrong. When he's not bothering Akiko, he works at a gum removal business.
• G (voiced by Jeff Lumby): G is a gargoyle who works as the security guard for Dez's apartment building.
