The employees at these Renaissance Fairs love their jobs, and they have a few eyebrow-raising stories to share.

Out of all the jobs in the world, working at a Ren Fair seems like one that could be endless fun. Sure, the costumes get hot in the summer heat, and sometimes people act up, but it seems like most of these actors really enjoy their work. They show up every day in historically accurate costumes and interact with guests. When done right, it's an immersive LARP experience that's fun for kids and adults alike.

U/emax4 asked the folks of Reddit to share their absolute craziest stories from their ren fair days, and more than 3,000 people did! You can check out a bunch of excellent stories below. Alongside the crazy tales, it's a fun look at what it's like to work at a renaissance fair, since guests don't normally know what goes on behind the scenes. If you've never been to one, maybe these stories will inspire you to seek one out and see it all for yourself.
