Teguh Slamet Rahardjo

Teguh Slamet Rajardjo (1926–1996), popularly known as Teguh Srimulat, was an Indonesian comedian and actor. With his first wife Raden Ajeng Srimulat, he founded the Srimulat comedy troupe which became popular in the postwar era for its absurdist Slapstick comedy and social satire.

Early life Teguh was born Kho Tjien Tiong in a Chinese Indonesian family in Klaten, Central Java, Dutch East Indies in 1926. It was in 1946 while he was working as a guitarist that he met his future first wife, Raden Ajeng Srimulat, who was already a popular Keroncong singer. They began to perform together regularly, to the point that he adopted her name as his stage name: Teguh Srimulat.

They also began to create comedic films in the 1970s, some of which Teguh co-wrote: Mayat Cemburu (1973) and Walang Kekek (1974). Many of their skits and appearances involved parodies of American and other foreign films, mixing low-class Javanese language humour with satires of serious content. Other skits parodied Bourgeois propriety and featured clever servants getting the best of their masters. The peak of the group's popularity was from the 1960s to the 1980s, but they continued to produce famous comedians who became a part of Indonesian popular culture into the twenty-first century.

Teguh died of a heart attack in Surakarta in 1996.
