Abstract
It is well-known that what is funny on stage does not have to be funny in everyday life, and vice versa. The genre transformation, from tragedy to comedy, can be seen in the work of these two performers: (1) Mario Filipi, disabled Homeland war veteran, in his monodrama »How to Act Like a Normal Man« with its elements of stand-up comedy, and (2) Jasmin Džemiđić, a stand-up comedian from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who is also permanently disabled and in a wheelchair as a consequence of cerebral palsy. As the playwrights of the Theater of the Absurd (Pirandello and Ionesco) did in previous periods, stand-up comedians in recent period affirm that life is an existential comedy joining two inseparable sides of life: tragic and comical. In a stand-up comedy, a tragic event can be interpreted in a comical way so that humor appears as a form of coping with trauma and life difficulties; not in the sense of denying painful situations and avoiding problems, but as an opportunity to perceive the situation in a broader context
