how Indonesia has a kind of show what is so-called Stand up comedy and check it out whether you think it's funny or no.
The following is an example of a script to be performed at an Indonesian Stand Up Comedy Show. Learn how Indonesian comedians try to amuse their audience. You want to try--go ahead, it's good too to learn the language by repeating and drilling, don't you think copying the native speakers, that's the best way of learning of a language. That's what I did when learning English.
- Hukuman di sekolah juga berpengaruh bagi masa depan muridnya kelak. Teman saya yang dahulu sering dihukum berdiri di depan kelas berjam-jam, kini jadi tentara. Dan dia sangat menikmati jadi petugas piket jaga.
- Lantas ada juga teman yang sekarang jadi sekretaris karena waktu dulu suka dihukum menulis di buku berlembar-lembar. Teman saya satu lagi yang dulu sering dihukum lari keliling lapangan ternyata sekarang jadi maling.
- Saya menjadi pelawak karena saya merasa jauh lebih cerdas dari teman-teman saya kebanyakan. Sebab perkerjaan melawak itu membutuhkan intelegensi yang tinggi. Kita semua sudah melihat bukti bahwa pelawak-pelawak itu semua cerdas-ceerdas. Mulai dari era Bing Slamet, Bagyo, Benyamin S, hingga generasi Kasino dan Dono. Namun sayang semua yang cerdas-cerdas ternyata harus meninggal lebih dulu dibanding rekan-rekan segrupnya. Yah bagaimana nggak mau meninggal duluan…lha wong dia yang paling stress memikirkan konsep lawak grupnya.

| Raditya Dika, one of the famous Indonesian stand up comedian (http://metropolitanonline.co) |
Some Indonesian stand-up comedians like Raditya Dika, Dodit Mulyanto, Mongol, Ernest Prakasa, Pandji Pragiwaksono, Ge Pamungkas and Ryan Adriandhy might have their own style in performing this script and I think you might too even if you only practice how to improve your bahasa skill.
Okay, here is the translation of the script of the Indonesian stand up comedy above. Enjoy practicing!
- Punishment at schools means a lot for the future of a student. My friend who used to be punished to stand in front of the class for hours, now becomes a soldier. And he is enjoying becoming a military picket!
- There is also a friend who now becomes a secretary because she used to be punished writing so many pages in a book. Another friend who used to be punished to run across the field, now becomes a thief.
- I become a comedian because I feel much more intelligent than most of my friends. A comedy performance requires high intelligence. We all have seen evidence that all comedians are smart. Starting from the era of Bing Slamet, Bagyo, Beyjamin S, until the generation of Kasino and Dono. But unfortunately, all these clever men turn out to die earlier first than any members of their group counterparts. Well, you know what? They are the most stressful thinking about the concept of joke in their group.
Good luck.
