Anyone a court jester?

English Heritage said in an advertisement in the Times on Thursday applicants for the competition at the weekend should bring their own costumes with bells, but said it would provide a bladder on a stick -- a traditional jester's prop. Would-be fools should attend a public audition Saturday at Stoneleigh Park in central England, wearing their costumes.



This has got to be one of the coolest things I have read in a while. It is for real.. so if anyone lives or wants to travel to England that has had a lifetime dream of being THE court jester here might be your only chance.

Probably pays in pound sterling, as England isn't using the euro (yet)

shrug, could be cool. But I doubt it's as cool as in the days of old. In the days of old, the jester was known about almost as much as the King & Queen.

John Cleese is Monty Python. If it wasn't for him, Monty Python wouldn't have exsisted.
