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. 💀🖤 Editing by: Debbie Dellorso.🐿️ Podcast music: 🎵 "Consider Death" by Akira the Don New show.

    EPISODE 40: Putting the FUN in Funeral | Dan the Funeral Man

    EPISODE 40: Putting the FUN in Funeral | Dan the Funeral Man Dying Laughing with Jessimae Jessimae sits down with Dan the Funeral Man, a funeral director from Salem, Ohio who's putting some much-needed personality back into death. Think hot pink caskets, leopard-print urns, custom memorials and final send-offs that actually look like the person being remembered. Dan takes us behind the curtain of the funeral industry to answer the questions everyone secretly wants to ask: What happens to our bodies after we die? What does embalming actually do? Why are funerals so expensive? What should grieving families spend money on, and what can they skip? And, of course, what are the wildest things he's witnessed at a funeral? They also explore why funeral customs are changing, how families can create more personal celebrations of life, and what spending every day around death has taught Dan about grief, regret and being alive. Because if you lived loud, why the hell should you be buried beige? 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your FUNeral friends.  🎁 EMAIL US: ⁠⁠JessimaePelusoComedy@gmail.com⁠⁠ ☎️ CALL/TEXT US: 513-916-0930 Dying Laughing Sad B!tch Mix: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4oEPcojn4F8tAl93m7O8dm?si=XvGd7MXASIyUh5qSIFUcmQ&pi=fzUNvYr0SP2oG⁠⁠ 🎵 Outro music “Consider Death” by Akira The Don. 🖤 Follow @JessimaePeluso for more: YT: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/jessimae-youtube⁠⁠ TOUR: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/jessimaetour⁠⁠  FAN CLUB: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/JessimaePeluso-Patreon⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    EPISODE.39: When Should You Say Goodbye to a Pet?

    EPISODE.39: When Should You Say Goodbye to a Pet? Dying Laughing with Jessimae Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions we'll ever make—but how do you know when it's the right time? In this episode, Jessimae explores the heartbreaking question every pet owner eventually faces: What makes a good quality of life, and when does holding on become holding them back? Inspired by a moving article written by a palliative care physician, she dives into the world of pet hospice, quality-of-life assessments, pain management, and why animals often hide their suffering until the very end. Jessimae also shares the deeply personal story of saying goodbye to her soul dog, Carlin, and how she ultimately knew it was time. Along the way, she discusses the emotional weight of euthanasia, the surprising similarities between human and veterinary hospice care, and why sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go on a good day instead of waiting for the worst one. Whether you're grieving a pet, caring for an aging companion, or simply want to be better prepared for one of life's most difficult moments, this episode offers compassion, practical guidance, and a reminder that loving our animals also means knowing when to say goodbye. 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your DOG MOM or CAT DAD friend.  🎁 EMAIL US: ⁠⁠JessimaePelusoComedy@gmail.com⁠⁠ ☎️ CALL/TEXT US: 513-916-0930 Dying Laughing Sad B!tch Mix: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4oEPcojn4F8tAl93m7O8dm?si=XvGd7MXASIyUh5qSIFUcmQ&pi=fzUNvYr0SP2oG⁠⁠ 🎵 Outro music “Consider Death” by Akira The Don. 🖤 Follow @JessimaePeluso for more: YT: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/jessimae-youtube⁠⁠ TOUR: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/jessimaetour⁠⁠  FAN CLUB: ⁠⁠https://found.ee/JessimaePeluso-Patreon⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Holy Shit! I'm Dying. Now What? | Author & Speaker Douglas Cartwright

    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. Doug's Book: Holy Shit! We're Alive!

    The Death of Who You Used to Be | Jessimae Peluso

    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. 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag a sad friend who needs some joy.  🎁 EMAIL US: ⁠JessimaePelusoComedy@gmail.com⁠ ☎️ CALL/TEXT US: 513-916-0930 Dying Laughing Sad B!tch Mix: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4oEPcojn4F8tAl93m7O8dm?si=XvGd7MXASIyUh5qSIFUcmQ&pi=fzUNvYr0SP2oG⁠ 🎵 Outro music “Consider Death” by Akira The Don. 🖤 Follow @JessimaePeluso for more: YT: ⁠https://found.ee/jessimae-youtube⁠ TOUR: ⁠https://found.ee/jessimaetour⁠  FAN CLUB: ⁠https://found.ee/JessimaePeluso-Patreon⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
