Abstract

Humour has several components that lend themselves to the study of language. Yet there is barely plenty of humour analysis in stand-up comedy. This research focus on the speech acts on humour of Trevor Noah in stand-up comedy show called "Afraid of the Dark". It aims to examine the types and functions of speech acts in order to engage the audiences. Descriptive-qualitative method is used to analyse the data. The writer found that Noah used of 5 types of speech acts by Searle could enhance the humour and material that he would deliver. The writer found 9 functions of assertive speech acts, 5 functions of directive speech acts, 5 functions of expressive speech acts, 4 functions of commissive speech acts, and 1 function of declarative speech acts. The stage present of Noah also helps him to create a light-hearted and enjoyable impression. The writer recommends carrying out in-depth research on comedy because it is still not often discussed in language studies.
