The following are our favorites:
The Rogues
Cut, Thrust & Run
Cast In Bronze
Queen Anne's Lace
Don Juan & Miguel
"I reject your reality and substitute my own!" - Adam, Mythbusters

Noble Dreg

My favorite act of all time was the "Flaming Idiots", don't know if they are still around but they are long gone from MNRF.  Current...the one and only, Iris and Rose.  "Moose, moose, I like a moose..."
"Why a spoon cousin? Why not an axe?"
Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more. Now SEW, and keep the stitches small

I do believe the Idiots(as a group) are long since retired, though I have heard that at least one of them still works at Scarborogh(I spelt that wrong didn't I?)

The Tortuga Twins, they had me nearly in tears at Carolina last year.
The mind is like a parachute, its best when open.

Craigmeister

'Boru's Ghost' tops my list for Celtic Bands.  They play a mix of traditional & "modernized" Celtic music.  I've never seen such energy in a drummer.  The whole crowd gets caught up in the fun.

My favorite hammered dulcimer player is Dustin Cooper.  His talent is matched by his humility on stage & off.

I think the best comedy act around is 'The Brothers Dimm'.  Their mud show brings laugh after laugh.

For swordplay & comedy, how can you beat 'The Twisted Blades'.  We are truly blessed in Oklahoma w/ these great local acts.  Huzzah!

Gotta be Iris & Rose - they will just about make you pee yourself.  They debauched my son last year at TRF, never saw him look so happy or nervous all at the same time. Ded Bob, of course.  Don Juan & Miguel - humor & swashbuckling are a hard combination to beat.
Sveethot!

Rahne

I believe my favorites at our faire this year (GLMF) were Broon, Zoltan the Adequate, Axel the Sot (can only watch him when the kids stay home though), and Porter and Stout

Has to be Ded Bob - at the Arizona Ren-faire- I've been to twice.
