Traveling Actor

The life of a traveling actor is, contrary to belief, not one of glamor but effort. To be on the road going from town to town wearing a thousand faces invites little reward, save the adoration of the crowd. Even so, this is where they thrive. Actors typically travel in troupes, composed not only of other actors but also of stagehands, drivers, and assorted hangers-on. All of them fall under the thumb of a singular director, acting as both parent and manager to all within the troupe.

Performers Across Golarion

Some of Golarion's brightest stars are as much storymakers as storytellers.

Camilia Drannoch, Revolutionary: Camilia uses her powerful words to put an end to the Red Revolution, rid Galt of its final blades, and reestablish relations abroad.
The Circus of Wayward Wonders: Perhaps the most spectacular traveling show in the Inner Sea, the Circus of Wayward Wonders and its Sideshow of Everyday Marvels offers truly outstanding acts for their audiences.
Janatimo, Speaker of the World's Tales: Janatimo, an aiuvarin bard at the Magaambya, leads the Uzunjati, scholars and teachers tasked with spreading knowledge to improve the world.

The Colleges Of Humor

Throughout Golarion there are pockets of jesters and jokesters that form groups they call colleges of humor. While they have no formal name or location, these colleges are universally recognized for producing excellent comedy. Those who train with colleges often specialize in one of many forms of humor. Some of the most common specialize include, but are not limited to: slapstick, romantic humor, high comedy, situational comedy, parody, surrealism, farce, wordplay, and observational humor.
