Hamilton at the Renaissance Festival

People have been asking me to do #hamilton for YEARS, so I finally broke down and wrote a version out.
Yes, I know I still need to learn "Guns and Ships"

A not-insignificant part of me now wants to hear Jacques's version of Lafayette's "Guns and Ships" part.

[@ThatllShowEm]

"Puns and Whips"

[@keyblademasterclark]

As a theatre lover and a theatre performer I absolutely love this! Especially the "hon hon hon"

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

Right? 😂 I could not stop laughing. I applaud his hard work on the lyrics.

[@ALTnOtes]

hOn HoN hOn HoN hOn 😂

[@bodenking]

Clearly practiced, clearly thrilled he gets to do it, I love it. Though I will say that Guns and Ships is right there

[@beckawilk]

Already i can hear him changing ships to whips.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Guns and Whips! Everyone give it up for this festivals favourite whipping frenchman! JAQUES WHIPPER I'm taking this song by the reigns, whip it faster, smack it, leave no stains JAQUES WHIPPER and I'm never gonna quit until I make it whip, and lash the strip, and whip on all the beats, I'm JAQUES WHIPPER Watch me engaging them, upstaging them, be-maging them, I'm JAQUES WHIPPER I go to to france for more beats JAQUES WHIPPER I come back with more feats, and whips, and so the whipping hits we rendezvous with renaissance, consolidate their gifts We can end this whip right here now, cut it off and see, and for this succeed, there's nothing else we need except WHIPS!

"They're not going to take away my shot" would be good with the whip cracking. Also, great voice, man!

[@thomasanderson8207]

I'm not gonna throw away my whip!

[@charlottedrew9714]

That’s not the name… the song is my shot but the lyrics don’t even say that either

[@brittanymale9481]

Ok. On

[@nightdust9724]

I've had a really bad day but this cheered me up. Thank you, Jack.

[@alexism.4259]

You have a wonderful voice for King George actually, and i cackled at the HON HON HON HON part, I was not at all expecting that

[@sarahmattingly6971]

“I don’t know a lot of musical theatre.” -proceeds to do a minute of Hamilton. 😂😅

[@jackwriter1908]

I can't stop grinning... I think I am starting to scare my family 😂

[@kpopf4nmom]

Smiling is good! It relaxes your face and makes people wonder what you're up to! 😂😂😂

[@vbella39]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@allisone7472]

Let's be real here. Jaques only asked the audience if they wanted the long version because he wanted to do the long version.😂 Jaques, it's ok. We are here for your creativity too😊, not just Britney.

[@Lake__]

As a theater geek I approve

[@becausereasons8507]

Fun fact, the English nobility were still largely speaking French in the 14th century, the start of the Renaissance, so this is even more funny to me.

[@meemurthelemur4811]

Another fun fact: European diplomatic meetings as well as treaties and official documents were also all conducted and written in French well until the late 19th century.

[@dandyandy1252]

Audience member: Hamilton. Jacques: Hamilton really? 3 second pause Jacques: Yeah we can do that actually. Me: *accidentally spits out French vanilla coffee as well as trying to catch it but failing miserably, but also chuckling right after*

[@Knight-of-Sarcasm]

You made my night, lol! Hopefully you didn't burn yourself and I'm right there with you in astonishment and wonder.

[@dandyandy1252]

@@Knight-of-Sarcasm I’m glad to hear I made your night, you saying that I made your night made my night.😂 Also, it didn’t burn it was through my mouth (thank god) but sadly some of the coffee landed on the ground, but thankfully I didn’t attract any ants, so that’s good.😂 Hopefully your night continues to be good, if that’s even proper English.😅

[@thecatofnineswords]

That was lovely! More minute long songs please

[@safebox36]

I love the King George songs, but hearing Lafayette's verse would be pretty sweet at some point.

[@sanvivaidya8721]

as a theatre kid, I can confirm this is exactly what I wanted

[@randomlibra]

BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!!!! Actually, you have a really good voice.

[@tracker5849]

I would LOVE to hear you seriously sing an operetic type song!!! You have a beautiful voice

[@pamelamays4186]

A whip definitely needs to be incorporated into Hamilton.

[@justarandomgothamite5466]

On the one hand it'd be epic on the other it may be somewhat. Insensitive considering who Hamilton is about.

[@knivesandcake8115]

Those Hons were on point

[@queenclairey]

Sometimes I forgot the amazing set of pipes he has

[@leonply]

For the next Ren Faire, it would be hilarious to perform The Sound of Music.

[@kaileighrow3654]

Your vocals on this song were so good! Best song yet!

[@AidenAimeeLeach]

Man, I really wish he had done guns and ships from Lafayette, it would have suited him so well

[@primmoore6232]

*Jonathan Groff* would be dead-jealous to see this!

[@BowmanAttak]

I loved the bit of irony he brought up. And you did a very nice rendition of the song and sang well. Good job.

[@katherineduke3232]

I'm offended he doesn't know more musical theater.

[@JasonOfWolves]

He says he doesn't know musical theater... And sings hamilton. Destroying me over here XD

[@Ailieorz]

It's really nice to hear you actually sing for once

[@KS0417]

Saw the title then clicked. This is a great match

[@Magamonair]

As a French, I've always been amazed at how inaccurate the "hon hon" cliché is, and ever since I wonder how accurate our own clichés about other nationalities are ^^

[@corgiw7281]

Some of those cliches are 2 - 300 years old, too, but language drifts. 😊

[@medusagorgon8432]

You are wonderful! That is actually my favorite Hamilton song! Poor George, he tried so hard to be a decent fellow.

[@Greyrabbit22]

Yes it was so hard..... that's why he was such a philanderer.

[@kpopf4nmom]

Excellent rendition! Musicals and animated features are very good sources of popular material. 👌 If you're interested, Hamilton apparently has a permanent spot on the Disney Channel. Plus, you can pick up a few tunes from Encanto! 😂😂😂

[@Indigoisaspookyghost]

Omfg I love this- as a total theater kid who also LOVES the ren fair, this is beautiful. Perfection ✨

He doesn't need a DnD character, he IS the DnD character.

Love your tiktoks and youtube videos. Always put a smile on my face and make me laugh. Thank you for the amazing content. You're absolutely amazing.

[@KennethStone]

That was really good! I'd love to hear more of your singing!

[@craigw6557]

This was done at the Colorado Ren Fair. He was the big draw with that area overflowing with folks to watch him. Talked to him afterwards. And he says he's still trying to get use to the large crowds.

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

My dude Jacques Ze Whipper, would you consider the West Coast for a stop? I’ve never considered a Renfaire, but I would go want to see you. Your singular gift for entertainment, and just folly that is fun is remarkable‼️

I’ll be in Seattle in 10 days for two weekends

[@averyhicken5164]

Yes, he did you'll be back, which is stuck in my head

[@meagan3750]

My toddler loves watching your singing. He’ll coming running from across the room yelling ‘music! Music!’

[@sophiaisabelle01]

We will always support you no matter what. Keep working hard.

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

Sir. Monsieur. You need to watch Hamilton if you’re going to continue performing that song. 😂 Btw, great performance. I applaud your hard work on the lyrics. ❤

[@annymus4502]

Noo Jacques I thought you were a circus fan!! 😂 THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOOOW

[@katchupmachined1914]

I like the fact that the most replayed part of the video isn’t the start of the song, but when he showed a little knee.

[@ThigsThatSimp]

I remember going to the Renaissance Festival on opening day, it was so much fun! It was my first time there and I really wanna go back! Really expensive thought, we got one of the baby Drabbit's! The shows there were really cool as well and I loved the "Flying Freak Show." That clown was really funny and cool, Moonie's show was good as well! I sadly didn't get to see yours will all of the running around and others shows going on though I hope next time I get to go I'll see you there! Also that was amazing lol

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

I'm slightly disturbed over how many girls were excited over something lasting a minute

We stand for fifi who squeaked the squeaker when ever you said Jacques ze whipper

Now he has to learn something to My Shot or Guns and Ships for Lafayette... or What'd I Miss talks about Jefferson coming back from France so would work too!
