From Fool Hearty on Facebook: "We are very happy to announce that "Fool Hearty" will be back at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire in Ohio this summer!!! This is the Faire where we were originally married nearly 15 years ago, and we renewed our vows there on our 10th anniversary. (So we've married each other 3 times now...and we will again!) Yea!!! We're super excited to return to this magical Faire. We love Great Lakes! Come on out ~ friends and fans: Northern Ohio is pretty close to Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania! We are looking forward to performing for you.  " |

Menagerie or Lisa and Jon Butts were not asked to come back this year Were they not asked, or not interested? (I noticed on FB that Lisa has "ended work at Renaissance Festival" in 2009...) I miss all you guys, but reading about the missing entertainers at GLMF makes me a little bit glad that I'm now closer to Sterling and Penn Ren.  Right. Last I knew, they gave uo the road to take care of the kids and get their new house in order. |

Okay...but...no Captain Stout...no Circa Paleo and no Hopless Romantic Comedy show...exactly who IS coming back?! They still have 2011 Entertainment up on the GLMF Site... Actually, I have to do some checking. If I remember correctly, the bit of news about Circa Paleo, was that someone had asked Josh about it, and he said that he wouldn't be back. But I heard from another source that 'they' will be back, but not with Josh. But all of that is like 3rd hand info or more. So I don't know how much to believe. I do know that Johnny will be back. Looks like we have Owain for the whole run |

As to Circa Paleo, I had an email conversation with Joshua himself, who told me that they will not be at GLMF this season. I'd posted it on the GLMF Facebook page. We'll miss them for sure!

Menagerie was not asked too come back because they walked out after three weeks last year with no notice and left the Faire scrambling to fill their spots. Richard was not asked because he was intoxicated and could not perform at pub sing this is what I heard and Larry Rabin was swearing with the mother f_ _ _ words and then walk off stage. and again this is what i was told no confirmation.

If your news is not confirmed, you shouldn't say it on-line. It's not fair to the performers who may be given a bad reputation for your unconfirmed "rumor's".

Thank you Scott.
I know Menagerie dd not 'walk out'. They had a situation at home that required their attention.
Yes it was short notice, but they did square things with faire personel before they left.

I understand that Menagerie had to leave early do to family obligations and they are not coming back due to these obligations.
As for the rest: I would make sure the stories are true before posting. If they are wrong, that would be unfortunate for the entertainers.
We may never know the true reason they are not returning, and personally, it is really not our business.

Bill- That's an awful thing to say. You're bordering with slander, and isn't that illegal? It really isn't our business as to why performers cannot return.

well seeing as how Richard did perform at every pub sing I think there must be other issues.
As for Menagerie, I know they squared things before leaving.
And in regards to Larry, he's not a performer I enjoy watching but I don't begrudge him having a job. If there were complaints about content, it should fall equally on the staff that decided his show should be at the most frequented stage in the park.
But seeing the widespread lack of entertainers returning, my first guess is budget restrictions. It looks like they are just cutting back left and right.

Blueguy. You know Richard pretty well, seems the last time I spoke with him he mentioned he had a "real world" job. Maybe he is not returning to faire due to schedule conflict.  You know anything about that? HANK. |

Looks like Brian Howard, aka Broon, won't be back this summer. He posted this message on facebook today (June 12) "Sorry to say I wasn't hired to perform at GLMF this year". He also added information about his podcast. You can get additional info about his podcast from his website at www.brianhowardcomedy.com |
