It means festival or feast.
"You are not a fool like me".
It rather depends on what you think the theme of the play is.
Money. In Act II Scene 3 of Twelfth Night they each give Feste sixpence to sing them a song. Since he sings "O mistress mine, where are you roaming?" they get their money's worth.
One of the reasons the music in Twelfth Night plays an important role is because the characters express their feelings through the songs some of them sing/play. For example, Feste the fool likes to sing about the melancholy aspects of love, because he is in fact singing about him self and his own experiences. One of the songs Feste sings in Twelfth Night is about a man who is doomed to feel sadness, even when married. Many people think Feste was singing about himself. However, afterwards, Feste often likes to brighten up the mood in a room afterwards by singing a happy song that the other characters know, so they can join in. Obviously, Orsino listens to songs when he is in love with Olivia. <-- But that's a totally different question.
She is somewhat impetuous, as her gift of a ring to Cesario shows. She is compassionate and forgiving toward Feste and Malvolio ("Poor fool, how they have baffled thee."), but quite firm in her decision about Orsino's suit.

Shakespeare wrote this line in "Twelfth Night." It is spoken by Feste, a wise fool character, reflecting on the balance between intelligence and foolishness in a person.

Aguecheek keeps picking fights, Feste never picks fights. Aguecheek talks utter rubbish (frequently repeating what another character has just said); Feste says some of the cleverest things in the play.

Twelfth Night, Or What You Will.
First of all, Feste is a character in only one Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night. The play does not say how many instruments he might carry around with him, but unless he had a lot of luggage, there cannot have been a lot. In the film from 1995 Feste (played by Ben Kingsley) walks around with a lute on his back, but then later on pulls out a concertina. It's the director's call.
Trettondagsafton is Swedish for 'Twelfth Night.' (Google Translator)
