Fools are the funny characters in Shakepeare plays such as Touchstone in As You Like It, Feste in Twelfth Night, Costard in Love's Labour's Lost, Peter in Romeo and Juliet. The funny characters are also known as "clowns". The Porter in Macbeth is hilarious. The gravediggers in Hamlet provide comic relief. Thersites in Troilus and Cressida, Apemantus in Timon of Athens and the Fool in King Lear are more abusive than funny.
Falstaff (from the two history plays King Henry The Fourth and also The Merry Wives of Windsor) is probably one of the most notable "clown" characters in a Shakespearean play. He is the fat, drunk, older, thieving friend of Prince Hal.
