Description

He left home as the chubby kid with a dream, a decade later, he's a touring comic with a killer set. Literally. In Wisecrack, stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returns to his hometown for a charity gig, only to find himself headlining the most terrifying night of his life. The warm welcome quickly unravels into a chilling true crime tale of a downward spiral and a town shaken by murder. When TV crime producer Jodi Tovay stumbled across Edd’s comedy set, it did more than get a few laughs, it opened the door to a years-long investigation she never saw coming. Part comedy special, part true crime thriller, Wisecrack blends punchlines with plot twists in a genre-defying ride where the laughs are real and the danger is no joke.

Good reporting on a narcissistic comedian’s story

Good reporting but I can’t get over how Edd made this story all about him — like ALL about him. Not a fan.

Boring

The story is told in the first episode. Jodi trying to make minute details seem bigger.

Meh.

Ed did a great comedy bit. Protected the identity of everyone involved.. Why does it matter if it’s an exaggerated story?
