Here at Harvard, we are all too familiar with the Flatterer, the Opiner and even the Sinner. But recently a new subspecies has made its joculor appearance: the Jester. Or to bee more precise, the merry and roguish wearer of the Jester hat. In the past few months, the Jester hat has become the accessory to choice for the young and tragically fashionable, whether they find themselves on the ski slopes or in the Yard...
...merrymaking on the castle lawn in Act I and in the castle ballroom in Act III sustain an interest independent of the central pair; they prove that both the quality and spirit of the dance extend to the whole cast. Of particular note was Daniel Meja as the mischievous jester, who often upstaged the principal dancers with his tendon-defying tours jester and boyant personality...

When he chased Phil Donahue in order to kiss him (to Phil's extreme displeasure) on Donahue's show two weeks ago, he was being the pedal-to-the- metal performance artist one expects. And his unedited riffing can often be, as charged, disgusting: his jokes 11 years ago about his wife's miscarriage were inexcusable, his now defunct TV show's low-rent T&A spectacle a depressing glimpse into a New Jersey heart of darkness...
