New comedy specials and TikToks show that death can be a laughing matter, too.
The COVID pandemic might be one reason for the recent rise, according to Limperis. “We’ve all experienced grief on such a massive scale that I think everyone’s worlds got shaken up that I’m sure everyone started wanting to talk more about what they were feeling and what was going on in their life,” she told HuffPost.
In Limperis’ special, the show’s pace changes physically when she describes her dad’s death in detail. Limperis goes from jogging to slowly walking in a circle to lying on the ground as she describes her dad entering a coma for seven days before dying. Limperis then talks about how she still feels her dad in the sky and the places she visits.
Wasserman’s show relies largely on crowd participation. One of the bits is Wasserman spinning a wheel of vulnerability with topics like “Last Will and Testament” and “Final Words” and inviting people to start sharing where the wheel lands. Those unexpected reactions people share about their losses keep the show honest.“Death is real and comes for us all, and you don’t actually know how it’s going to shake out,” Wasserman said.
“If we’re laughing about it, that likely means we’re also feeling and relating to it,” Limperis said. “It’s good. It means people are seeing themselves in it, relating to it and getting some catharsis and feeling of not being quite as alone.”Grief humour can happen across other mediums, as well.
