Death: A Funny Business

About Death: A Funny Business

Becky Briggs and Natasha Spencer-Levy are on a mission to make death a less taboo topic, tackling it with humour, openness, and real talk. Having lost their parents young, they dive into everything from broken-heart syndrome and family issues to ghost stories and conspiracy theories, exploring death’s spiritual, cultural, and strange sides. With raw, often hilarious conversations, they’re showing that death can, surprisingly, be ‘a funny business.’
