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

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

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!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

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 👀

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.

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

Dean’s Killer Joke @deanskillerjoke.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

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.

Dean’s Killer Joke @deanskillerjoke.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

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.

Dean’s Killer Joke @deanskillerjoke.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

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...

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
