The Fools Guild is a California based social community that produces total immersion theme parties and other theme events. Members self-identify in some way with The Fool, a role that dates back to medieval times when monarchs and nobles often had their own court jester as part of their household. Fools were more than just comics. The Fool had special permission to be subversive. The Fool could speak the unspeakable, wear the unwearable, and behave in ways that no one else would get away with. The Fools Guild motto is, "In Risu Veritas" – In Laughter There Is Truth.
Most Fools Guild members live in the Los Angeles area, with some in the Bay Area and a few alumni outside California. Though many are actors, artists or creatives, many are simply imaginative souls in a wide range of fields.
