Everyone Thought Pryor Brice Was a Joke.
WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?

Sometimes you kill. Sometimes you get killed. But no matter what, everyone dies the first time they go on stage.

Pryor Brice has always wanted to be funny. And now, he’s taken the plunge and started doing stand-up comedy. Unfortunately, his older sister – Ronan – wants her brother to stop daydreaming and focus on his future.

Pryor is determined to succeed…the only problem is: He totally sucks at stand-up. That is…until an accident changes everything, leading both Pryor and Ronan to discover comedy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

KNOCK ‘EM DEAD is a supernatural horror about comedy, brought to you by writer Eliot Rahal (MIDNIGHT VISTA, HOT LUNCH SPECIAL) and artist Mattia Monaco.

Key Selling Points

  • Writer Eliot Rahal’s original works are based on things that actually happened to him – and, like the stories in HOT LUNCH SPECIAL and MIDNIGHT VISTA, KNOCK ‘EM DEAD is based on Eliot’s early experiences as a stand-up and writer
  • Rahal has described the series as “King of Comedy meets The Frighteners.”
  • Newcomer artist Mattia Monaco is another breakout discovery by AfterShock.
  • Story is set in Chicago, the home of up and coming comedy in the U.S.
  • Stand-up comedy is an art form that continues to fascinate the public. As researchers into the art have put it, “stand-up comedy fulfills a need for feelings of truth, trust, empathy and intimacy between people – important in a society where many often complain about feeling isolated.” It is against this backdrop that the supernatural and crime aspects of KNOCK ‘EM DEAD are set.
