Have you looked at the Manesse Codex? There are some adorable jongleurs in that particular body of work, and it may give you an idea of what to work with.
The Music of Spain by Gilbert Chase makes some mention of jongleurs/juglaresas towards the beginning; you ought to be able to get it through inter-library loan if there isn't a copy near you. Good luck!

Illuminations are a good place to look for ideas on foolery in general. You also might want to look up images of carnivale in the renaissance.
Berzerker, who was the juggler at Bardic? If Endragh is in Northshield it might be good to pass along the name.

That's Gauge. He's more known in the SCA for fencing than performing, though that was certainly an impressive routine that I will most certainly not scoff at. But his persona is not specifically a jongleur, to my knowledge.
