Dying Laughing with Jessimae
Welcome to Dying Laughing — the comedy podcast that explores grief in all its messy, magical, and mortifying glory.
Hosted by stand-up comedian, Netflix host, and professional grief reliever Jessimae Peluso aka your favorite “comedy death doula" and "griefluencer” , this show dares to laugh in the face of death, because if you’re not laughing, you’re crying in a Marshall’s fitting room while listening to Fleetwood Mac on repeat.
You’re going to lose a lot in this life: your loved ones, your job, your dog (way harder than your ex), your relationship, your mind, your appetite and yes, your favorite necklace that your dad gave you (which your toxic ex absolutely kept).
While all of that sounds brutal, it can also be beautiful. I call it brutiful.
Each week, I invite you into real, raw, and ridiculously funny conversations about how we survive loss, reclaim joy, and sometimes ugly-cry in public. Everything deserves a proper burial - even our dignity.
Welcome to Dying Laughing with Jessimae. 💀🖤
