About
From the court entertainers dancing for Egyptian Pharaoh Neferkere 4,000 years ago, to the hot clown girl you saw on Twitter yesterday, the role of "professional fool" has been around for a long time with many variations. If you've ever wondered who the first ever clown was, the romantic tensions between a jester and their king, or why there's a whole subset of Christianity devoted to acting like a total weirdo, then step into my circus tent while I spend roughly 30 minutes telling you about all of those things and more!
