The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 155: Ben Wasserman & Doing Comedy at Funeral Homes

March 15, 2023
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
Ben Wasserman, comedy about death, grief, solo show

Though it might be strange to read, comedy can really exude its healing/relieving powers when done in a funeral home. NYC based Ben Wasserman has been proving that while touring with his most personal work to date, Live After Death, a wild solo show about grief and loss created in the aftermath of several deaths of family members and friends in the span of a few years. It’s a rambunctious show that brings an exuberance and a communal joy while also very much holding space for those any and all that are currently or have ever been beset with grief. Wasserman talks candidly to us about how all this came about and how it has changed his comedy and his entire trajectory with performing.
