Nice find. Is this a travelling circus or one that stays in the same area for large amounts of time?
And if it does travel, do you have any idea of where it goes or if it has a fixed schedule (perhaps to arrive in specific towns for certain holidays or local festivals)?
I'm not sure about that. :? Jesters were really entertainers of nobility, in the real world. The Jester PrC seems to be a bit more versatile than a Court Jester, but it doesn't look like a clown that might perform in a troop.
I guess it depends if they are stationary or mobile.
Assuming they are a travelling circus, the Fairwind Circus would be a great way to provide PCs with the ability to find out news about other villages, towns and cities. If you have an adventure to run, and the PCs are in the "wrong place" they could help point the PCs in the right direction.
If The Fairwind Circus is about to move, they might also appreciate travelling with the PCs, as there is safety in numbers.
