Skomorokh was a very long time ago in Russia, where people would go around singing and making people laugh. They would dress up in silly costumes and use instruments like tambourines and flutes. Think of them like jokers or clowns from a circus. They would visit villages and tell funny stories, juggle, dance and sing songs. They were a bit like travelling entertainers who would make people happy and bring some fun to their lives. But sadly, they disappeared a long time ago, and we can only learn about them from stories and history books.
