Jesters were entertainment, along with a number of entertainment types. The joker in a deck of cards has a picture of a jester. Jester played tricks on people or criticised them in ways that made people laugh or learn something. They usually did not have a fixed routine, but were spontaneous. They spent a lot of time with the people they entertained, and so did not wander about the countryside like actors or bards. This meant that they needed to be employed by people with a lot of money, such as royalty.
