Antimasquer

/ˌæntɪˈmæskər/ noun

Definition

A performer who acts in or specializes in antimasques, typically playing comedic or grotesque characters.

Etymology

From antimasque + -er (one who does). Formed in the early 17th century to describe the specialized actors who performed in these comedic theatrical interludes.

Kelly Says

Antimasquers were the medieval equivalent of comedy relief actors, often recruited from lower social classes because they weren't expected to be graceful—which actually freed them to be hilariously unrestrained.
