Image description

Shakespearean actor Richard Tarleton, (d.1588) London actor, ballad writer, favourite jester of Queen Elizabeth I, and the most popular comedian of his age. Creator of the stage yokel, his performance is thought to have influenced Shakespeare's creation of the character Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Tarleton said to have been the model for the court jester Yorick described in Hamlet. By 1579 he was a well-known actor and Queen Elizabeth I's favourite jester, the only one able to "undumpish" her when she was out of humour and the only one allowed to tell her of her faults. In 1583 he became a leading comic actor of the Queen's Men and groom of Her Majesty's chamber. His plays, which were praised by contemporaries, are all lost.
