About this listen

Frankie Gallows has spent seven years paying his dues on the stand-up comedy circuit with only limited success, but when he finally lands a headline slot at London’s legendary King Alfred’s Theatre, the opportunity comes with a sinister catch: perform a joke handed to him by the theatre manager—or risk everything.

Darkly comic and unsettling, The Joke is a supernatural tale of ambition, sacrificing artistic integrity, and what lurks in the shadows of the stage. Some jokes kill. Others damn you for not telling them.
