The modern idea of the Jester is not entirely incorrect. In many respects, it’s pretty close. But there are one or two things we’d like to clarify.

Along the way we’ll talk about historical Jesters, their jokes, and what their lives were like. We’ll see Jesters from around the world and get to know more about how they worked. And, lest you think Jesters are all dead and gone, we’ll talk about two of the biggest fools we know about from the modern world.
