Laura Murphy

Laura Murphy’s name has been bouncing around the comedy scene for a while now, and honestly, if you haven’t stumbled across her work yet, you’re probably missing out. She’s been at the helm of some seriously offbeat and clever projects—think “F*** Marry Kill” from 2024, which doesn’t just lean into dark comedy but does a full cannonball into it. That film takes the classic party game and flips it into a wildly unpredictable ride, with Murphy’s fingerprints all over the sharp dialogue and weirdly relatable characters. Then there’s “Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery” from 2022, which, yeah, sounds like a fever dream but somehow works. Murphy brings the funny without making it feel forced, and you can tell she’s got a knack for letting actors riff and just go for it. The whole thing feels like a holiday special you didn’t know you needed—equal parts murder mystery and improv chaos. Don’t sleep on “Cursed Friends” either, also from 2022. That one dives into friendship drama with a supernatural twist, and Murphy’s style keeps it from getting too sappy or predictable. There’s always this undercurrent of, “Wait, did they really just do that?” running through her projects. Bottom line: if you’re into comedy that’s a little left-of-center and isn’t afraid to get weird, Laura Murphy’s filmography is basically a treasure trove. Her stuff isn’t just funny—it’s got bite, and it never plays it safe.
