Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the various sign systems containing queer
issues within Popon Kerok’s stand-up comedy material, specifically examining the
discourse on queer issues constructed during his performance on the Somasi Close
The Door program, while also exploring how Popon Kerok assigns meaning to
queer issues within his comedy. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study employs
Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis method to evaluate Popon Kerok’s comedy
material on Somasi Close The Door. The results of this study reveal that the signs
presented by Popon Kerok, both visually and verbatim in his comedy material,
contain severe violations against the queer community. By utilizing a "closeminded" persona, Popon's comedy material is accepted by audiences who share a
heteronormative background.
