The Grin Reaper

Prompts = Recognition, Audience, Moniker

Marissa Spignowsky’s big standup comedy break happened during a televised routine at the Comedy Shack. She was tremendously talented and able to make audiences howl with laughter, but that night, someone died. They died of laughter.

Nothing gives name recognition like killing it on stage.

She booked show after show. Health warnings were printed as part of her advertisements. Every appearance had an ambulance on standby just in case. Everyone survived at most events, leaving attendees vaguely disappointed. But there were enough deaths and resuscitations that she earned a moniker she now uses as a stage name: The Grin Reaper.
