The comedies of Sterija, Nušić, Aleksandar Popović and DušanKovačević are continually included in the Serbian theaters’ repertoires. The paper asks the questions why comedy is our most vital genre, what are the characteristics of the plays written by the last of the abovementioned Serbian comedy playwrights,and what is the connection between satire, black comedy and absurd in the Serbian contemporary comedy represented by Dušan Kovačević.
