The Ohio Renaissance Festival’s very own comedians from the cast band together to bring you tons of improv fun. From mad libs-style story lines to the fan favorite “I Like My Lovers”, the Made Up Mayhem shows are always full of witty, crowd-pleasing entertainment. Entirely unscripted, it’s a cross between Who’s Line Is It Anyway and The Goes Wrong Show. No matter what happens, it’s all part of the act.
Every season brings returning cast vets and new members into the troupe. You can really see the hours of practice they’ve spent as peels of laughter echo through the crowd. Things can get a bit ribald from time to time, but they’re really good at keeping the jokes on a good level for a family faire. So go catch a show! You won’t regret it.
Brown Butter Tarts at the Aleing Knight
Hot, flaky, buttery, and sweet, these brown butter tarts are a perfect treat as you wander the ORF grounds. Lines at the Aleing Knight get long fast, so be sure to grab one while you can.
Enchanted Images
Costumed Photography in Minstrel’s Grove
In a day and age where you can easily buy a costume off a warehouse site and take photos that are instantly accessible on your camera, the old school charm of a vintage photography booth might be overlooked. But make no mistake, there is a deep sense of nostalgia that comes with getting your picture taken and turned into an ‘old timey’ souvenir. The warm brown coloration developed by sepia tone feels special in the same way that flattening a penny at the museum used to be the coolest thing you could do.

A snuggled-away in Whimsey Woods, Bella the bard may have a smaller stage, but her voice more than makes up for it. A talented vocalist with a boisterous personality, she’s well worth taking a seat in the shade for.
Mudgic: The Globbering
