The idea for Death Becomes Us was initially recorded where most great ideas end up: on a dirty napkin. From there, Jenn made sure she carefully crafted live shows that alternated between sad and funny. Everyone needs a palate cleanser. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like to see Amanda Knox comment on Tinder matches, this was the event for you. Because fans of the true crime genre love to chat but rarely have an opportunity to do so in-person, it was an immediate hit.
