Jester (occupation)

A jester was an individual kept by a person of rank for amusement. Jesters provided entertainment, as with jokes or antics, in their employers' courts. Over a dozen years before the Battle of Endor, Salacious B. Crumb became the court jester of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, a Hutt crime boss who operated from Tatooine. As part of their deal, Crumb was allowed to remain at the Hutt's court if he managed to amuse his master at leace once a day; should he ever fail, however, the jester would be executed.
