Peters was held guilty of murdering and dismembering the bodies of two of his ex boy friends. Trigger Warning: This story has details of a violent murder, which might be distressing to some readers.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticMany of our greatest comedians have something hard and unrelenting under the surface. The pursuit of laughs can be mercenary; there’s a reason that standups, on a good night, will say that they “killed.”
