Stand-up With Death

A ghost finds himself in an endless nothingness, with but a light above his head. Soon after, they spot something in the distance: a table behind which stands a vague figure.

As the ghost approaches, they see the figure for what they are: The Grim Reaper. The ghost pleads the Grim Reaper to let him return to life. The Grim Reaper agrees, if only the ghost accomplishes one thing: To beat them in stand-up comedy, with the judges being angels and demons alike. The world around them transforms into a stage, countless eyes peer at the two figures... And the ghost remembers they have never made a good joke in their life.
