Hey, this is Matt, host of Le Monstre.

If you're fascinated by bizarre circumstances in true crime, then I have a show for you.

It's called Wisecrack, and it'll take you down a very odd, terrifying, and strangely hilarious road.

Wisecrack follows comedian Ed Hedges, a bullied kid who returned to his hometown as a rising

comic to perform a charity gig.

But the laughter gave weight of fear when two people were brutally murdered just hours after

his performance.

Then the killer showed up at Ed's house.

Ed processed the tragedy through comedy, weaving the scariest night of his

life into a shocking stand-up set. And when a TV crime producer stumbled upon his quirky yet

creepy performance, it did more than get a few laughs. It sparked a year's long investigation,

forcing Ed to deal with the truth behind the tragedy part comedy special part true crime documentary

Wisecrack is available now check out this trailer and while you listen search Wisecrack in your
