Help us out! Buy this song on iTunes/Amazon!

This tune was written YEARS before we recorded it, and the "Grandscale Renaissance Festival & Fantasy Faire" is based on a large 30-year-old corporate event in the Midwest. (Not the small tent-and-canopy event shown in this video.) To see a short story where this "event" was first mentioned, visit:

Nebraska Renaissance Faire 2006 "music video" (widescreen)

The song is by the Pirate Comedy Show, and available on iTunes and other online music stores.

A compilation of video snippets I shot on a Sony HDR-HC1 HDTV camcorder for future use in TV commercials set to one of our Pirate Comedy Show songs, "Where is the Renaissance (in the Festival)?" which is available on iTunes, MSN Music, etc.

(Re-uploaded now that YouTube is handling widescreen properly. Former view count: 494)

In 2008, the Nebraska Renaissance Faire moved to a new permanent location at the Bellevue Berry Farm and Pumpkin Ranch in Papillion, NE. Scary Acres became home to the new Midwest Renaissance Festival (after buying rights to the Renaissance Faire of the Midlands, a long-running event formerly held in Council Bluffs, Iowa).

I didn't really find anything "funny" about this song. It's only a representation of the self-proclaimed "experts" who openly scorn the faires.While the rest of us simply enjoy the faire for its pageantry, merry making and characters

Just a guess, but its probably for the same reason you can't watch a humorous video and just enjoy it for the fun of it!

I agree, no matter how many years the Faires will be around, those so-called "experts" will be around as well. But no matter, I'm still psyched for my state's upcoming Renaissance Faire next weekend. I look forward to the jousting tournament and the turkey legs

What was he saying at the end as it was fading out "So I could..."? Also, I feel that a renaissance fair is a bit better when your a part of it, although that may be because that was my first and only experience.

Once again, I ask all of you; why must you complain about the "lack of authenticity" in Renaissance Faires and not simply enjoy the fun of it all?

Its because they don't wear anything under those kilts besides pride.

Use to attend the faires back in the late 80's and my friends and I really enjoyed them. By the early 90's the faires were sabotaged by the costume nazi's, SCA and pirates. Has not been the same since. This is is so funny and yet SO true. LOL!

My family and I have been attending the PA Renaissance Faire since 2004 (the fair's been around since the 80's by the way) and we enjoy going to it not for the so-called "authenticity" but for the entertainment value. The jousting tournament, the stage shows, visiting the weapons stores and sampling the steak on a stake and turkey legs are some of my favorite things about Ren Faires

In St.Louis I have been to the pirate festable but not the renaissance faire maybe they made the pirates seperate for a reason.

Heh, I'm with ya. Diet Cola and light beer were not okay back then. Of course, they really aren't now either, but that is beside the point. And pirates are fast becoming as overdone as vampires.

FYI ... just real quick ... Turkeys were imported from England to the US. The turkeys were all killed off and eaten in England and re-imported BACK to England. Quick version.

@allenhuffman *Sigh* Sad but true. I've worked at Bristol and corporate drives us nuts with the stuff they want us to do. They keep pushing the fantasy/mainstream craze stuff. (And yes, we were pirate/nautical themed a few years ago) We used to joke that they were going to have centaurs and unicorns soon...and then corporate told us how next year we were going to have a unicorn...

Interesting to see you have the same authenticity issues in the US Ren fests as we do in our German Medieval markets :) Mighty funny, harr harr! ^^
