And I was lucky enough to have her on the podcast this week to speak about her show ‘Alexa, tell us a Dad joke’.</p><p>First and foremost - what an epic name for a show. I LOVE it!!</p><p>Alexa speaks about how her Dad dying brought her humour down to a whooooole new level. Who knew you could create a whole hour’s show based on your Dad dying and all the ‘funny’ things that tragedy entails?!</p><p>Obviously it’s a topic that raises a few eyebrows, however, all of us in the Dead Parent Club are guaranteed to have a hundred head-nodding moments and belly laughs throughout the whole of her masterpiece.</p><p>This week’s episode obviously starts with a brief stint about the ever-popular Covid-19 and follows on to speak about Alexa’s time at university and how the death of her Dad led her down a new route in Stand Up Comedy. We also discuss rooting through your parent’s ashes to collect samples to send to a tattoo-ist and the weird things you find… And how after death you just aren’t the same person anymore. And obviously a tonne more stuff!!</p><p>If you’d like to watch it (and you definitely should) follow the link below!</p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klFffBItdpM&amp;feature=youtu.be\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Alexa's Show: Alexa, Tell Us A Dad Joke!</a></p><p>You can find Alexa on her social channels at:</p><p>@Alexajadeg</p><p>Facebook:</p><p>Alexa Gibbens - Performer&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And you can find us at…</p><p>Instagram - @dpcpodcast</p><p>Facebook - Dead Parent Club Podcast</p><p>Website - <a href=\"http://www.dpcpodcast.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.dpcpodcast.co.uk</a></p><p>Email - <a href=\"mailto:dpcpodcast@hotmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">dpcpodcast@hotmail.com</a></p>","author_name":"Dead Parent Club"}
