"Kabotyn" i "błazen" to w powszechnym odczuciu raczej nagatywne określenia. "Trefniś" trąci myszką.
"Ham" jak mówi Webster to:
3 [short for hamfatter, from *The Ham-fat Man,* minstrel song] a : a showy performer; especially : an actor performing in an exaggerated theatrical style,
więc "komediant" - w potocznym rozumieniu - jako osoba nie będąca aktorem a mimo to naturalnie dążąca do popisu i szukająca taniego poklasku, będzie wg mnie dobrym rozwiązaniem w tym kontekście. |

1 hr confidence:   błazen
Explanation:
Ewentualnie "pajac", jednak błazen bardziej mi tu pasuje. W zależności od kontekstu "błazen" mogą mieć negatywne albo pozytywne/neutralne znaczenie -> "błazen nadworny".

"Może", a nie "mogą", oczywiście - przepraszam za pomyłkę.
