What's the funniest thing you've seen or heard at faire?

[Valiss]

A kid at our faire was asking his mother for one of those giant turkey legs. I could tell that she was annoyed by his persistance. Finally, she leaned over and growled, "If you eat one a giant turkey might come find you looking for his leg!" The kid eyes got as big as dinner plates and he looked at the both with renewed interest. Then he blurted out "I wanna meet the giant turkey!"

Zoltan the Adequate's opening jokes to get peple's attention before his act:

A Nucleus walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "Have you seen an electron?  I left one here last night."  The bartender replies "Are you positive?"


A Neutrn walks into a bar and asks the bartender "How much for a pint?"  The bartender replies "For you, no charge."

Okay, they are horrible geek jokes, I know.

Okay, they are horrible geek jokes, I know.

And as a science geek, I found them HILARIOUS!

Two girls in their 20s, giggling, ask a Scotsman, what he is wearing under his kilt. The scotsman raises an eyebrow and says:" Shoes!". The look on their faces was priceless.

Aye! Indeed! The trials and tribulations of having multiple characters. And the anticlimaticness as i looked into the faces of those who, "got it".

quote, "I am Sean Daniels Privateer w/a ........ OH CRAP!"


In the future, I would always look at the garb I was wearing before speaking.......Thanks to that very incident.

This happened during a Jolly Rogers show at KCRF.  They do a bit where Beard and Devon "make" Kane sing a shanty after he teases Devon.  Normally, Devon slaps Kane, then Beard does too, and they grab his mustache and make him sing.  At this show, after Devon slapped Kane, Beard went "I can't believe you just slapped Kane! I mean, it's Kane! Everybody loves Kane! I mean--I love Kane! I do..." and then grabbed Kane and kissed him full on the lips!  Kane fell over on his back, the other three Rogers fled the stage, and the audience burst out laughing! (And after that, when Kane was saying about his shanty, "Me mum taught it to me," he added, "It's a very sweet song, but she was a much better kisser!")

Just this weekend at Carolina during the Barely Balanced show.  Medium had just been helped up on stage (nice lady had to shove his rear while he steadied himself on a guy's shoulders).  The guy that Medium was steading himself on was also holding Medium's mug of water.  The audience cheered when Medium got up onto the stage and the guy holding the mug raised both arms in celebration, dosing Medium with water.  YouTube video whenever I get around to it.
