in 1883 in the first recorded rodeo takes place in pecos, texas. in 2001 rob smets attends the PBR world finals in jeans and a sports jersey bearing sponsor logos. in 1568 the gelosi acting company coalesces in italy to perform the hot new style of live improv entertainment. in 1780 joseph grimaldi makes his stage debut at 2 years old at london’s famed drury lane. in the many, many years before any white person ever laid eyes on it, a man in what you’d now call northern arizona paints his body in black and white stripes and puts corn husks in his hair. in 1557 ivan the terrible is pallbearer to a man who walked naked in the streets of moscow. in 2017 the ringling bro’s circus announces its last show, 146 years after the titular brothers first formed it. all of these moments (and more!) have lived in my head rolling around like marbles for years now and im so happy to now have the proper method to infect your mind as well:

History of Fools is a hobby project of mine i've been working on for over a year now! part essay series, part half-assed podcast, part descent into madness, this little diddy is the culmination of years' worth of highly specific insanity. i have 4 half hour-ish essays/episodes out now reviewing the histories of:

Jesters! Commedia Dell'arte! Sacred Clowns and Holy Fools! and my personal favorite (seriously if you listen to or read any please choose this one) Rodeo Clowns!

I have more episodes planned to get into clowns proper, hoping to come out in 2024. but until then please take a read or a listen and let me know what you think!

CLICK HERE FOR FOOLS!

listen. i am sorry to everyone having fun with using this term casually but i cannot hold my silence any longer. "jester's privilege" is not "heeehe i'm funee so i get away with things :3c". it's referring to the special niche role the jester held within royal society and, more specifically, their relationship to the king. jesters were not just like, the king's personal stand up comedian (some were, of course, peep my dude Roland the Farter). they also would often advise their king, be used as a diplomatic tool, sometimes even create and foster longstanding emotional relationships with them. so when you use the term "jester's privilege" you need to stop thinking of it as just "i use humor to get out of Situations". it's more like "the most powerful man in the land will forgive my transgressions because of our years' long Situationship"
