Dolphy, considered by Filipinos as the King of "Pinoy" Comedy[not verified in body]
Comedy in the Philippines has had a significant presence in Philippine culture for as long as Filipinos have had mediums of entertainment, and has transformed to reflect changing Filipino life.[1]
Although there are very few contemporaneous descriptions of early Philippine performance arts, the prominent use of humor is evident in documented folkloric forms as the salawikain (proverb),[2] and oral epics such as Biag ni Lam-ang. Oral epics notably contain prominent instances of physical humor, such as the incident of Lam-ang's bath in the Amburayan river.[3]
The colonial era saw the introduction of new forms of entertainment, which included comedic performances in these new formats. The Spanish introduced the comedic anti-Muslim propaganda play called the "Moro-moro" and the tragicomic three-act play known as the Comedia. The American occupation and the industrial age brought new forms such as cinema and the Bodabil show.
Political satire has played an important role in Philippine life, especially during times of repression and censorship, such as the Philippine American War, the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, and Martial Law under Ferdinand Marcos,[4] when serious dissent was suppressed but comedy was allowed for a greater freedom of expression.[1]
