What if the best way to face death was to celebrate life…and laugh?

A comedian creates a moving celebration of life through a one-of-a-kind eulogy.

The Last Laugh is an intimate, moving series where people living with a terminal diagnosis invite a comedian into their world to create something extraordinary: a funny, deeply personal portrait of their life, while they’re still here to hear it.

Through conversations with the participant, family and closest friends, the comedian uncovers the stories, secrets, quirks and inside jokes that made them who they are.

The result is a one-of-a-kind comedic eulogy. Not a goodbye, but a celebration. A chance to laugh, remember, connect and reclaim the story of a life still being lived.

When ready, the comedian performs the eulogy privately for the person it was written about. And when the time eventually comes, they return to deliver it at their funeral. 

Because sometimes the best way to honour a life is with one last laugh.
