Who is a "jester"?
A jester is a performer who entertains with humor, jokes, and playful antics, often in historical or medieval settings.

They typically wore colorful, exaggerated costumes and used satire or witty remarks to make people laugh. In modern contexts, a jester may also be seen as someone who performs comedy or acts in a whimsical, entertaining manner.
