In "Wisecrack," host Jody Tovey investigates the story of Ed Hedges, a comedian who incorporates a personal experience of living next door to a murderer into his act. Tovey interviews Sophie Hagen, Ed's former comedy director, who raises doubts about the truthfulness of Ed's narrative. Tovey then visits Ed's hometown, interviews his parents, and visits significant locations from his stories, including the house next door where the murders occurred and the local cricket club. While Ed's parents corroborate key details, Tovey notices inconsistencies and half-truths in Ed's storytelling, leading her to question the accuracy of his comedic persona and setting up a confrontation with Ed and a meeting with the father of the murderer in the next episode.
