Arie Kriting

Arie Kriting, born Satriaddin Maharinga Djongki, is a prominent Indonesian comedian and actor hailing from Wakatobi Regency. He gained national recognition as the third-place winner in the third season of Stand Up Comedy Indonesia on Kompas TV in 2013. Before this breakthrough, Arie honed his craft performing at smaller venues with the Stand Up Indo Malang community, where his unique Eastern Indonesian accent set him apart.

This achievement was later followed by the success of Abdurrahim Arsyad, who made it to the grand final in 2014.

Transitioning from comedy to acting, Arie made his film debut in 2014 with "Comic 8." His acting career flourished, leading to a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 2016 Indonesian Film Festival for his role in "Aisyah: Let Us Brothers."
