Dean’s Killer Joke turns one! Thanks to everyone who’s listened, laughed, and questioned their own morality along the way. Top 50 on Apple’s Comedy Fiction Charts wouldn’t have happened without you.

Which DKJ characters would do the Riyadh Comedy Festival? Anne-Marie: No Carla: Yes Rodney: Absolutely not, how dare you? Kenny: Too nervous. Austin: Only if you said he couldn’t. Jack: Do they have coke? Frank: Don’t worry about it.

We know this trend is probably about thirst, but if you listened to our show, you know this particular instance is about good (or, well, bad) ol' mental health

You heard it here first people (unless you actually saw it on Reddit when it was posted). Dean’s Killer Joke - we sound like home. #audiodrama #podcast

My podcast about a murdered, canceled comedian just hit a perfect score on Podnews. Honestly, given the state of entertainment, I hope my fictional story doesn’t get any closer to reality.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks to you, Dean’s Killer Joke is rocking a perfect score on Podnews. Listen before the next comic gets #canceled… or worse

Exactly this

We made Dean’s Killer Joke as a satire of comedy, podcasts, and cancel culture (with some fun murder mystery hijinks). Adding a government conspiracy against free speech sounded too dramatic and unrealistic but little did we know…

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Now Kimmel? This is getting worse and worse

Dean deserved a People article after his thing, but all he got was this podcast

Kam Patterson’s catching cancellation heat before his first SNL sketch—before what could be his big break. Sounds like the start of a podcast. Like Dean’s Killer Joke 👀

All these Marc Maron clips going around… wild how fast comedy friendships can turn into vendettas. I actually wrote a whole audio drama about that spiral — except mine ends in a murder. Check out @deanskillerjoke.bsky.social to see how it all unfolds

Colbert has been a part of our comedy DNA since we were teenagers. Excited to see what he’ll do next. However, while we’re sometimes undecided when comedians get canceled for saying the wrong things, getting canceled for exposing those in charge? That may be even worse.

Dean Blackshaw: canceled in the States. Charting in the UK. That tracks.

New here from Overcast? Welcome to the green room. Dean’s dead. The jokes are worse than ever. What episode are you on?

Our writer did one interview and suddenly thinks he’s Marc Maron.

This was supposed to be his espresso

If your favorite comedian got canceled, tried to make a comeback, and ended up dead in the greenroom… Would you still listen to their podcast?

When you see a hilarious dark joke in a meme: 🤣 When you realize it was posted by a shitty person that thinks the “joke” is true: 😡 That disconnect, someone thinking a joke is validation for their terrible prejudices, is what Dean’s Killer Joke is all about

Comics are getting arrested for jokes. Some get banned from countries. Maybe Dean's Killer Joke was never satire. Maybe it was a documentary ahead of schedule

Look, I could just say “new 5-star review!” but, really, I’m just here to remind you the twist goes hard

You don't need a press release to know a comedian's canceled. Just check if they've stopped showing up on Rogan

BREAKING: Authorities confirm canceled comedian Dean Blackshaw was found dead in a comedy club greenroom after a failed attempt to win back his stardom. With that last joke, there was no way he was coming back. Especially now. Dean’s Killer Joke. Wherever you get your #podcasts.

What’s a comedian story you’ve heard told on multiple podcasts, each with a different POV? One that always stuck with me was the Ari Shaffir / Bobby Lee feud. Hearing comics retell the same moment (each version a little warped) felt like a glimpse inside the greenroom.

Ever binge comedy podcasts and think, “What if one ended in murder?” That’s how Dean’s Killer Joke was born. 7 episodes of dark comedy, mystery, and a joke that changed everything. Watch the trailer 👇

I made this podcast after years of binging comedians-interviewing-comedians pods, where they often talked about each other on their own shows. It felt like the perfect world for a whodunnit -- where everyone’s got a different take and a different punchline

Every #comedy #podcast is either: 1. An interview show 2. Two guys talking 3. Comedians joking about true crime Dean’s Killer Joke is all three. (Except our two guys are usually a guy and a girl. What a twist.) Check it out: open.spotify.com/episode/1dCw...

Dean’s Killer Joke was inspired by the comedians interviewing comedians genre, a format that wouldn’t exist without #WTF. Marc Maron helped build the podcast space we all work in. Grateful for the legacy and excited to hear his final sign-off. Boomer Lives!

🕵️‍♀️ A comic dies in a green room. 🍸 His friend blacked out the night it happened. 🎤 Now she’s piecing together what went wrong… and if it was all her fault. Dean’s Killer Joke is a 7-part audio drama about murder and comedy gone too far. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Fun fact: Raging Bull was one of Dean’s favorite movies

Our whole show was written at a minimum of 30 minutes a day. But him insisting on only writing with a fountain pen really slowed things down. Like, damn dude, its just a pen, relax. You wrote the rough drafts on a computer anyway

One of the great things about #audiodrama is that it's a community that welcomes others trying to get in. So as a way to give back, does anyone have any questions about creating and making an audio drama? #ama

Thank you Evo!

Some recent reviews! Very happy to see that the show is still finding an audience! #podcast #audiodrama #comedy #standupcomedy
