Introduction Comedy is a play that is conducted to bring a sense of humuor to the group of audience. A person who is conducting the play needs to act in a way that will make people laugh. By definition, humuor is an act or a play that induces laughter. The play involves body movement and the use of words that are arranged in a way that will entertain the audience. (Rizal, 1997). A comedy is regarded as a powerful tool in the life of human beings. The relationship between comedy and power refers to the level at which humuor is used to solve various problems in human life. People have taken humor in a vigorous way that includes making a living out of it. (Calmus, & Caillies, 2014). Since the industry has been commercialised, individuals who need to laugh must pay for it. Various theaters in popular cities across the globe have been set aside for the purpose of the comedy shows (Orwell, 1962). The television and radio stations have incorporated comedies in their programs in order to attract their viewers and listeners respectively.
