  So does that mean I'm like the Jester in this kingdom?

Jester job description according to wikipedia:
"A jester was a historical entertainer either employed to entertain a ruler or other nobility in medieval or Tudor times or was an itinerant performer who entertained common folk at fairs and markets.

I don't know how to entertain you people! What did I sign up for... 

 

Just tell a joke every once in awhile , and you satisfy the "jester" part for me.

In fact, the jester occupied a unique position at court, as s/he was marginalised to the point where s/he could speak truth to power in a way that other courtiers could not.  As such, the jester also served as confidant to the monarch.

"Of at least equal importance with his entertainer's cap was the jester's function as adviser and critic. This is what distinguishes him from a pure entertainer who would juggle batons, swallow swords, or strum on a lute or a clown who would play the fool simply to amuse people. The jester everywhere employed the same techniques to carry out this delicate role, and it would take an obtuse king or emperor not to realize what he was driving at, since 'other court functionaries cooked up the king's facts for him before delivery; the jester delivered them raw'."
