Dying Laughing with Jessimae

Jessimae Peluso

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. 💀🖤

    Relief & The Leaf: Finding Peace After Grief and Trauma | Jessimae Peluso

    EPISODE 49: Relief and the Leaf: Finding Peace After Grief and Trauma Dying Laughing with Jessimae Sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn't a person. It's the chaos you've spent your entire life learning how to survive. In this deeply personal (RE-RELEASED) episode from Jessimae's original Grief Survival Guide, we go from an allegedly near-disastrous encounter with Aruba customs over some marijuana to the much deeper work of unpacking childhood trauma, family dysfunction, and the complicated emotions that surface after losing someone you love. Jessimae opens up about growing up in a chaotic household, becoming exceptionally good at managing everyone else's mess, experiences of sexual and emotional abuse, and the unexpected relief that can sometimes accompany grief. But what happens when the chaos finally stops? How do you recognize what still needs healing? And what if the peace you've been searching for was never something you could find outside yourself? Sometimes the miracle on the other side of tragedy isn't getting something back. It's discovering what you can finally put down. So ask yourself: What are you holding onto that's holding you back? From the vault. Same grief. Same bitch. ❤️ ***Content note: This episode includes personal discussions of sexual and emotional abuse. As well as a heightened emotional state due to the host being in the throes of grief. Listen with caution.*** 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your grieving 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 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The Hills I’ll Die On: Petty Opinions I Refuse to Change | Jessimae Peluso

    Everyone has an opinion they’re willing to defend for absolutely no good reason. This week, Jessimae shares the Hills She’ll Die On—the petty, irrational, and occasionally completely justified beliefs she refuses to budge on. The Big Light is an act of aggression. Speakerphone in public makes your conversation everyone’s conversation. Irish goodbyes are efficient, not rude. And if you say you don’t want dessert and then reach your fork toward hers, prepare for consequences. Then Jessimae gets into YOUR submissions to decide which hills are valid, which are insane, and which prove some of you should not be allowed to make decisions unsupervised. No politics. No religion. No actual stakes. Just very strong opinions about shit that absolutely does not matter. What’s the hill you’ll die on? 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest 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 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    44 Things I Know at 44 (And Some Sh*t I Still Don’t) | Jessimae Peluso

    EPISODE 45: 44 Things I Know at 44 (And Some Shit I Still Don’t) | Jessimae Peluso Dying Laughing with Jessimae Jessimae turns 44 this week, and instead of pretending she’s unlocked the secrets of the universe, she’s sharing 44 things she know...or at least strongly suspects..at 44. From love, money, friendship and grief to dogs, getting older, trusting your gut, asking for more, letting people go and why nobody is thinking about you nearly as much as you think they are. Some lessons took 44 years to learn. Some have required approximately 700 reminders. And some are just the increasingly confident opinions of a woman rapidly running out of fucks. A birthday episode about getting older, getting wiser and realizing that maybe having everything figured out was never the point. 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest friend. 🎁 EMAIL US: ⁠⁠JessimaePelusoComedy@gmail.com⁠⁠ ☎️ CALL / TEXT US: 513-916-0930 🧡 DONATE to Hilarity For Charity:https://wearehfc.org/ 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 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

David Ferrugio, host and creator of DeadTalks and author of the upcoming book You’re Not Dead Yet, was just 12 years old when his father died on 9/11. David joins Jessimae to talk about growing up alongside grief, what it’s like when the entire country remembers the worst day of your life, still wanting our dead dads’ approval, and how losing someone can completely change the way you choose to live. Most importantly, they remember who David’s father was—not just how he died. Plus, two fatherless Italians talking about death.

    The Greatest Fumbles in Sports & Life | Jessimae Peluso

    EPISODE 42: The Greatest Fumbles in Sports & Life | Jessimae Peluso Dying Laughing with Jessimae Everybody drops the ball. This week, Jessimae tackles life's biggest fumbles, from money and missed opportunities to bad relationships, career choices, regret and the mistakes that may have actually changed our lives for the better. She looks back at some of her own questionable decisions, including the opportunities she let go, the relationships she stayed in too long and the moments when hindsight made everything look a lot clearer than it felt at the time. Plus, listeners share the balls they wish they hadn't dropped, the people they chased instead of their dreams, the grudges they held too long and the choices that seemed like failures but ultimately led them somewhere better. Because sometimes a fumble is just a fumble, and sometimes dropping one ball is how you finally get your hands free to catch another. 🙏 Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence: https://www.thesisters.org 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest 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.

    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.

    When Should You Say Goodbye To A Pet? | Jessimae Peluso

    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.

    A Masterclass in How to Die | Filmmaker Johno Verity

    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. 🎵: Johno's Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0wZfPASGnXhNXy3EqlNlf8?si=knDtk3NwQoWfaVF6OK3BKA 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest 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.
