I think this is talking about Brehon Laws which dates to about 4th century Ireland and fades after the Norman invasions in the 12th century. Troubadours were mainly situated in southern France in the 12th and 13th century.
Surely some type of comedy performer was part of Celtic culture? We just can’t keep giving the Romans credit for stealing Greek ideas and spreading them willy nilly like a cultural STI, you know?
As far as I know, there’s no evidence for it. Who knows. Maybe the culture was hilarious that they would think it an act hubris for some to ask for money or get up in front of others on the regular to make people laugh. Like we can make each other laugh. We don’t need Colm do stand up there every week. Give the rest of us a turn.
Did they even really have comedians in those days?
They had troubadours. Maybe it was about them?
