Wisecrack

Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts•www.iheart.com

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.

Knock, Knock

In this captivating episode of Wisecrack, comedian Edd Hedges recounts the scariest night of his life, a seemingly ordinary return to his quiet village for a charity show that quickly turns sinister. The narrative skillfully weaves through his childhood struggles with bullying and his emotionally distant father, setting the stage for a midnight awakening to a terrified mother and mysterious banging on the front door. As true crime producer Jodi Tovay delves into Hedges' performance, the episode explores the profound impact of past traumas and the chilling, cryptic warning from the police that transforms a personal anecdote into a gripping mystery.
