Meet Jessimae Peluso

After losing both her parents—her father to Alzheimer’s and her mother shortly after—Jessimae became a fierce advocate for brain health and grief awareness. She now serves as an ambassador for Hilarity for Charity and the Alzheimer’s Association, using her platforms to bring visibility, funding, and humor to the conversation around loss.

She’s performed worldwide with the USO, bringing her high-energy, wildly relatable comedy to troops in Japan, Iraq, Poland, Norway, Bahrain, and Afghanistan. Her stand-up has been featured at Just For Laughs, New York Comedy Festival, and MoonTower, and she’s made multiple appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience, Chelsea Lately, Comedy Central’s @Midnight, David Spade’s Lights Out, and more.

Her podcast, Dying Laughing with Jessimae, explores grief and loss—with just enough inappropriate jokes to make you feel okay about crying.

Whether on stage, on air, or online, Jessimae brings her whole self: honest, hilarious, and here to remind us there’s light on the other side of loss.
