Comedy is a very interesting industry. In times past, it was not as important as what is obtainable today. In those long gone days, comedians were referred to as jesters. They were also not accorded much respect and regard. In fact, they were treated as very unserious sets of people. It is true that they were also used for entertainment, but they were not regarded in the least. It was also possible for comedians to end up not being paid for their work after they must have entertained people.  The rich and affluent of those days would employ someone specifically as a ‘court jester’. His duty would be to entertain guests when the employer organizes a party.  Court jesters also has to be able to perform some acrobatic displays for them to be recognized in those days
