It is here for two reasons, firstly it's pretty gnarly. Secondly the reason which came first is that it hides who the jester is. As do these words because they will show up on your screen so we're trying not to give it away.

This week we had 2 nominations for Court Jester and they are:

• Hive account@spunkpuppet: Comedy Open Mic Round 24 : THE VILLAGE : Part 49 - Have You Been Touching My Stuff?
• Hive account@groovatti: Hey is NOT for Horses (COM Round 24)

Congratulations to both. You managed something quite rare. You've managed to make a bunch of depressed maniacs laugh enough that they now like you (good luck, hope you figure out how to escape the dungeon). Without any further standing on ceremony (my ceremonial thong is itchy) here is your winner this week:

The Comedy Open Mic Comedy Contest Court Jester for Round 24:
