Different Jesters offer different skills depending on what they are interested in themselves and what they have learned and are happy utilising during a performance. Pretty much all jesters offer a mix of Meet'n'Greet entertainment where they welcome the guests to the event, be it a Medieval Day in a castle, for example, a wedding or banquet. Some welcome on stilts, other's at ground level.
Depending on the occasion, they would then offer walkabout entertainment where they mix in with the guests, usually performing trick to small numbers of people at a time (sometimes called mix'n'mingle) and/or shows which last anything between 10 minutes (say between courses at a banquet) or half an hour (say during a Medieval outdoor event.)
They are generally very flexible and do their best to provide the mix of entertainment required by the client which is suitable to the event.
Here are a few more photographs of jesters, showing a good mix of entertainment types and a variety of costumes.
As you can see, there is a wide range of skillful jesters available. As they are based all around the UK, then if a specific skill is required, a suitable performer may have to travel some distance to the event.
