British stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returned to his Essex hometown for a charity performance and discovered something unsettling: his childhood bully had committed a brutal double murder. The encounter inspired 'Wisecrack,' an unconventional true crime podcast that blends dark humor with serious criminal investigation.

British stand-up comedian Edd Hedges premiered the limited series podcast Wisecrack on September 2, 2025, blending his comedy set with a true crime investigation into a double homicide in his English hometown. Emmy-nominated producer Jodi Tovay discovered Hedges' darkly comic routine at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and spent years uncovering the story behind it.

On July 22, 2015, a 23-year-old man murdered his family in a small English village hours after comedian Edd Hedges performed a charity gig. When the perpetrator arrived at Hedges' home that night, it became the scariest moment of his life—and the seed for a groundbreaking podcast that blends stand-up comedy with documentary true crime.

Neil Strauss, a Rolling Stone journalist, hosts To Live and Die in L.A., an investigative true crime podcast that follows real-time investigations into disappearances and deaths across Los Angeles. Produced by Tenderfoot TV and Cadence13, the series has earned recognition for pursuing cases others have abandoned, bringing closure to families and justice to victims.
