Existing studies have examined the use of humour using the theories of pragmatics but have not specifically examined how gender, ethnic and class are reflected in stand-up comedies. Therefore, this study examines the humour strategies in selected Nigerian stand-up comedies with a view to identifying how gender, ethnic and class are reflected in the comedies. Attardo and Raskin’s general theory of verbal humour was adopted as framework. The data for the study were purposively collected from stand-up comedy performances of Bovi, Akpororo, Basket Mouth and Kenny Blaq on the YouTube channel. The comedians reflect gender, class and ethnic while narrating the events that surround the participants in the joke. These comedians primarily used Nigerian Pidgin in narrating the activity-in-the-joke. In the data collected for the study, the selected Nigerian stand-up comedians (SNSCs) operated on two main contexts: context-of-the-joke and context-in-the-joke. The SNSCs adopted different humour strategies such as comparison, distortion of shared knowledge, projection of collective belief and denigration. The SNSCs employ the strategies in their performances to expose certain facts about the issues surrounding man in the society, point out ills and to show their creativity.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"20 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47421011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some artists, now at home, kept their production routine and had to adapt to the new reality. In comedy, the result was an apparent similarity between the production of established comedians and newcomers, the latter natives of the digital environment. Was this a moment when comedians of different status were on an “equal footing”? This research sought to identify the similarities and differences between the humor production of established comedians compared to the content produced by up-and-coming artists in 2020, with attention to aspects such as audience, visuals and content. Twenty publications by Brazilian comedians Marcelo Adnet, Ademara Barros, Tom Cavalcante and Lorrane Silva were subjected to a quantitative and qualitative analysis that sought to understand the impact of the pandemic on the performance of established comedians and on the rise of certain up-and-coming comedians. The result of the investigation indicates a greater presence of differences between the analyzed material, mainly in terms of content, audiovisual resources and duration. Hypotheses that aim to explain these results were pointed out in the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"64 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42206077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research explores the aforementioned mechanisms that actively participate in the social identity formation of the Joker, starting from his socially unjustified mental illness that affected base structures (i.e., large masses) awareness to ruling class hegemony to glorifying the joker’s personality as a public hero despite the horrendous crimes he committed. In effect, they patronize him as a symbol of resistance and against capitalist discourses and ruling class corruption while disregarding his horrible actions. This research examines the transformation of the Joker’s identity from a comedian to a murderer, showing the norms or matrix of society that helped in the transformation of Joker’s identity ideologically and psychologically. The researcher uses a content analysis of certain scenes depicting the Joker as a hero or a criminal in society.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"84 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42764048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Putting these two analyses into dialogue, the article offers provocations and theories as to how clowning might provide a fruitful avenue for social justice-motivated fantasy as it is described by Judith Butler. The paper asks and offers responses to two central questions. Firstly, how might understanding clowning’s relationship to social justice pursuits be of use to those creating clown performances? Secondly, how can the practice and craft of the Mump and Smoot Lineage of the Pochinko Tradition of Cowning (MSLPTC) work in service of social justice aims? The author argues that the methodologies of this lineage do not require great alterations to work in meaningful service of social justice aims; the use of a message to the world, the focus on imaginative embodiment, and many of the lineage’s rules are easily deployed in service of social justice-oriented creation. In making these assertions, the author articulates a hope for further research into clowning and its intersections with social justice practice and also that clown practitioners might use their existing practices to further social justice goals.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"94 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47279373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
