    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. 💀🖤

    EPISODE 38: Can Jimothy Save Us All?

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae

    This week, Jessimae takes a break from the heavy stuff to embrace the wonderfully absurd.

    From an unbelievable sugar daddy story involving a very alive wife and a dead mouse, to sharks at water parks, AI teachers, Frankie Valli's seemingly immortal touring schedule, and the latest internet grifts, this episode explores the strange corners of modern life with humor, curiosity, and just enough existential dread.

    Somewhere along the way, one tiny raccoon named Jimothy emerges as humanity's best chance for survival.

    Because if the world keeps getting weirder... we're going to need him.

    EPISODE 37: Holy Shit. I'm Dying, Now What? | Douglas Cartwright

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae


    What happens when death stops being a distant concept and becomes part of your daily reality?

    This week, Jessimae welcomes her longtime friend, former neighbor, author, life coach, and spiritual teacher Douglas Cartwright for one of the most honest conversations ever featured on Dying Laughing. Shortly after being diagnosed with terminal glioblastoma, Douglas shares how the news has transformed his relationship with identity, fear, faith, purpose, and what it truly means to be alive.

    Together, they explore the difference between surviving and living, discuss why so many of us postpone the lives we really want, and reflect on answers from listeners who were asked one simple question: What would you do if you found out you were going to die?

    This isn't a conversation about losing hope.

    It's a conversation about finding it in the time we have left.

    The funeral disasters keep coming...

    In this second installment of The Internet's Funniest Funeral Fails, Jessimae shares hilarious listener submissions, unforgettable Reddit funeral fails, outrageous coffin reviews, and some of the funniest headstones ever carved into stone.

    From mariachi bands and funeral crashers to accidental burials and epitaphs that deserve comedy awards, this episode celebrates the beautifully imperfect moments that remind us grief and laughter often show up together.

    EPISODE 35: The Death of Who You Used to Be | Jessimae Peluso

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae

    Sometimes the most important funeral you'll ever attend is your own.

    In this honest, funny, and deeply personal solo episode, Jessimae explores the grief that comes with personal transformation. From saying goodbye to people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-apologizing, and the need for external validation, she reflects on the parts of herself that no longer serve her, and the unexpected joy of becoming someone new.

    Along the way, she asks whether our greatest personality traits are sometimes just well-dressed trauma responses, shares the lessons she learned from symbolically attending her own funeral, and explains why healing isn't about becoming someone different, it's about uncovering who you've been all along.

    Because sometimes the greatest loss isn't another person.

    It's the version of yourself you're finally ready to thank... and let rest in peace.

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae


    What do a 200-pound Saint Bernard, a casket buried in the wrong grave, farting church chairs, and an accidental blast of Highway to Hell all have in common?

    They're all real funeral stories. In this lighter episode of Dying Laughing, Jessimae shares some of the internet's funniest funeral fails, reads hilarious headstones, reviews unforgettable coffin reviews, and reminds us that even in our darkest moments, life has a way of being wonderfully absurd.

    Because grief doesn't erase humor, it often reveals it.

    Come for the chaos. Stay for the epitaphs.

    A Masterclass in How to Die | Filmmaker Johno Verity Jun 24, 2026

    EPISODE 33: A Masterclass In How To Die | Johno Verity

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae

    What if the secret to living well is learning how to die well?

    This week on Dying Laughing, Jessimae sits down with filmmaker, BMX rider, and accidental internet philosopher Johno Verity. Known for his cinematic videos of riding through the quiet streets of London before the rest of the world wakes up, Johno has built a devoted following by reminding people of something simple: put down your phone and go live your life.

    Together, they discuss the pursuit of baseline happiness, the importance of brain health, creativity, movement, and why so many of us have forgotten how to be present.

    Johno also opens up about losing both his stepfather and father, and the unexpected lessons grief has taught him about purpose, perspective, and what really matters.

    This is a conversation about mortality, mental health, adventure, and finding joy in the ordinary moments we're usually too distracted to notice.

    Because sometimes the best masterclass in how to live... comes from understanding how to die.

    FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL: The Last Laugh: My Dad, Unfiltered | Jessimae Peluso Jun 21, 2026
    Show notes

    BONUS EPISODE: | JESSIMAE PELUSO

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae

    For this special Father's Day bonus episode, Jessimae opens the vault and shares a conversation recorded with her father in September of 2015, years before Alzheimer's would take so much from him.

    What begins as a casual father-daughter conversation quickly turns into a hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally outrageous journey through family history. Together they discuss growing up in a large Italian family, discovering hidden branches of the family tree, a great-grandmother rumored to be a witch in Italy, shotgun weddings, family drama, gambling, addiction, marriage, fatherhood, and even a few alleged mafia connections.

    Funny, imperfect, wise, stubborn, and completely himself, this episode is more than a conversation. It's a time capsule.

    For anyone who has lost a parent, it's a reminder that grief doesn't just leave us with memories. Sometimes it leaves us with their voice.

    And sometimes, that's enough to make us laugh one more time.

    EPISODE 32: 10 WAYS TO CELEBRATE YOUR DEAD DAD ON FATHER'S DAY | JESSIMAE PELUSO

    Dying Laughing with Jessimae

    Father's Day can be complicated when your dad is gone.

    In this special Father's Day episode, Jessimae shares stories about her father, the qualities she admired most, the habits that drove her crazy, and the unexpected ways grief keeps our loved ones alive through memory, humor, and everyday rituals.

    Inspired by a touching story about a man who arranged to send a postcard after his death, Jessimae imagines what her dad's final message might have been and invites listeners to consider what their own loved ones would say.

    From heartfelt reflections to ten completely ridiculous ways to celebrate your dead dad on Father's Day, this episode is a reminder that grief and laughter are often closer together than we think.

    Because sometimes the best way to remember someone isn't by crying.

    It's by laughing at the things that made them unforgettable.

    Inspired by a New York Times article about conversations to have with aging parents, Jessimae explores the questions we often wait too long to ask.

    After polling listeners about what they wish they'd known before a loved one died, this episode expands beyond healthcare and end-of-life planning into something deeper: understanding the people we love while they're still here.

    From family stories and biggest regrets to childhood memories, life lessons, and unspoken dreams, 5 Conversations To Have Before It's Too Late is a practical and heartfelt guide to preserving connection before it becomes memory.

    Because one day, the answers disappear, but the questions stay with us forever.
