Dead Parent Society – Chris Groves and Anna Gerber is a 60-minute split-hour stand-up show at Pickle Studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Chris Groves and Anna Gerber both have dead parents — and they've built dark, punchy stand-up around it. Expect comedy about grief, funerals and the weird aftermath nobody prepares you for: killer punchlines, bad timing and a refreshing lack of sentimentality. No life lessons, no closure — just brutally funny takes on death, mourning and everything that comes after.
Why see this show?
Dark comedy about grief that refuses to get sentimental. Groves and Gerber take something genuinely difficult and find the jokes hiding in it — honest, punchy, and oddly comforting in equal measure.
