Episode 54: Comedian Widow: How Dark Humor Eases The Pain

May 25, 2021

Widowed at twenty-eight, Tawny Platis is the queen of dead husband jokes.

Tawny is a comedian, voice actor, and host of the podcast Death Is Hilarious.

Tawny’s podcast explores how comedians and creatives use comedy and dark humor to cope with grief and trauma through storytelling and jokes.

In this episode, Tawny discusses her botched suicide plan. Why laughter is like her heroin. PSDD--Post Spousal Death Disorder.

Pennsylvania Serah (she’s a lifesaver). Covid isolation perils. Bumble and honest dating profile advice.

Tawny thinks something is wrong with her because the same evening her husband George died, Tawny was—horny. You’ll hear what each therapist said when Tawny asked “what’s wrong with me?”

And so much more in Tawny's hope and laughter-filled journey.
