	Description:		Alexa Gibbens is an incredible performer, both as a circus artist and stand up comedian. And I was lucky enough to have her on the podcast this week to speak about her show ‘Alexa, tell us a Dad joke’. First and foremost - what an epic name for a show. I LOVE it!! 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?! 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. 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!! If you’d like to watch it (and you definitely should) follow the link below! Watch Alexa's Show: Alexa, Tell Us A Dad Joke!
