| description |
Stand-up comedy is an oral dramatic performance that is commonly
enacted by a solo-performer or a duet before a live audience. Some existing
literatures examined it largely from humour and entertainment to the neglect of
its deeper societal values. Therefore, this paper investigates its new trend in
gender discourse through its oral structural form by discussing the social
responsibility of mothers on proper monitoring and parenting of the girl child.
Besides, it also investigates the linguistic devices employed by the selected
female comedian to reveal the roles of female comedians as the gatekeepers and
conscience of society. Five digital video discs of live performance recordings of
Helen Paul, a Nigerian female comedian, were purposively selected. The
selected live recordings were based on the informing sociological realities and
choice of satiric mode. The paper employed Schechner’s Performance, Freudian
and Jungian psychoanalytic theories were used to analyse the informing
sociological realities and choice of satiric mode. The data were subjected to
performance and literary analysis |
