JAKARTA - The material brought by the stand-up comedians or comics sometimes offends several parties. The style of comedy developed in the United States, during his trip in Indonesia had encountered several problems. Many comics even have to deal with the law or anger of several parties.

However, Abdur Arsyad, who often brings material on the edge of a ravine or material that has the potential to offend several parties, admits that he is still comfortable with the materials he has brought so far.

Even though he likes to bring material on the edge of a ravine, Abdur has his own way so that his comedy does not have problems with the law.

"From the start we were trained to talk about something but not to the point if it was indeed dangerous, made in analogy, personification, comparison, all kinds of things," said Abdur Arsyad when met in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta last week.

"So, for the problem of complaint offenses or whatever, God willing, it can be avoided in terms of material," he continued.

Abdur also has no problem if the material is not liked by several parties. He realized that his comedy could not please everyone. The comic from NTT also believes that the truth in its material is relative.

"If there are frequent threats, but that's okay. If you threaten, people can have different opinions. Because what we're talking about is the basic social side of human life. From this point of view, it can be true, from that point of view. So from various points of view, of course there are pluses and minuses," he said.

Furthermore, Abdur is also not afraid of the threats directed at him. He felt that there was no significant threat that could have resulted in career safety and his life.

"Yes, if it's a protest with an original account, I want a joke for the discussion. But I'll let it be. I'll just delete it too, but I'll let it go," concluded Abdur Arsyad.
