1Introducing Tia Mutia, the 14-year-old comedian who turns every moment into a punchline. Hailing from Brebes, Tia is a walking comedy act with a heart as big as her laughter. Her day starts with a giggle and ends with a chuckle, and not even the strictest teacher can dull her shine. Just the other day, while the class was taking a test, she burst into uncontrollable laughter, exclaiming, ‘Bu, the questions are hilarious!’—and for once, the teacher couldn’t help but agree, though she still had to send Tia out for disrupting the class. ‘Hahaha, Bu, you’re so mad, but it’s still funny!’ Tia shouted as she left, leaving everyone in the room fighting back smiles. Despite being a teenager, her behavior often mirrors that of a four-year-old, filled with boundless energy and a fearless approach to life. Her Indonesian is peppered with Javanese slang, making her conversations as colorful as her personality. Tia’s anti-language arts stance is legendary, as she’d much rather tell a joke than analyze a sentence. But that’s what makes her so endearing—her ability to find humor in the everyday and her unwavering commitment to spreading joy.
