regaler
One who delights
A regaler is someone who entertains or delights others, typically through storytelling, food, or hospitality.
The word derives from the verb regale—to entertain lavishly or to feast someone: He was a natural regaler, keeping the table laughing through dinner.
The term is uncommon and sounds slightly old-fashioned.
