Mummers,{{Ref|AGOT|26}}{{Ref|AGOT|58}}{{Ref|ACOK|44}}{{Ref|ADWD|33}} singers,{{Ref|ACOK|12}}{{Ref|AFFC|10}} and puppeteers{{Ref|THK}} often travel from place to place in [[Westeros]] and [[Essos]]. While singers often travel alone,{{Ref|AFFC|10}} mummers and puppeteers travel in troupes, performing their acts wherever they go.{{Ref|THK}}{{Ref|ACOK|44}}{{Ref|ADWD|33}} Places located more remotely, like Winterfell{{Ref|AFFC|10}} or [[Bear Island]],{{Ref|ACOK|12}} might not be visited by traveling entertainment for years or seasons on end. Traveling singers, called "wandering singers", rarely travel far north.{{Ref|AGOT|28}} Tourneys{{Ref|AGOT|32}}{{Ref|ASOS|42}} and weddings{{Ref|ASOS|59}} can attract mummer troupes and singers. Additionally, mummers, singers, and puppeteers can find service with a lord or lady.{{Ref|ASOS|6}}{{Ref|ASOS|68}}{{Ref|ASOS|80}}{{Ref|AFFC|28}}

Some mummer groups prefer to perform from a fixed location, such as the [[Blue Lantern]] and the [[Dome]], two playhouses in [[Braavos]],{{Ref|AFFC|32}} or the mummers' hall in [[White Harbor]].{{Ref|ADWD|15}} At least in the mummers' playhouses in Braavos, the mummers play out written stories, instead of making up farces.{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

In [[Essos]], mummer troupes might contain enslaved mummers.{{Ref|ADWD|33}}{{Ref|ACOK|44}} These slaves can buy themselves free once they have gained enough wealth.{{Ref|ADWD|33}}
