[edit]History of Comedy in Indonesia[edit]
[edit]At the beginning of the 20th century, pop comedy groups or comedies of nobility emerged in Indonesia. One of these, stambul comedy, is a form of Indonesian folk drama that incorporates Malay cultural influences in the stories told and the language used. [1]
Although stambul comedy is no longer common, there are other forms of traditional Indonesian comedy which are both traditional and more common such as Ludruk, Lenong, Betawi masks. Non-traditional forms of humorous drama are also performed, such as the comedy of the Srimulat group, which depicts stories of everyday life. [2]
Nowadays, comedy appears not only in plays but also in films. Some performers participate in comedy troupes making multiple films, such as Warkop DKI(Warung Kopi)[3], comedy group Bagio Cs, and other comedy groups. In these films, the members of the comedy troupe often play leading roles. Indonesians also enjoy comedy produced elsewhere, such as that in the private television broadcast of RCTI and TVRI, which broadcasts such comedies as, such as Kate and Allie, My Two Dads, Golden Girls, all of which are popular in their home country, the United States. Other well-known stars include Charlie Chaplin, Jerry I Lewis, and Bill Cosby.
