Before the internet and viral videos made it easy for aspiring comics to get their material seen, they had to travel and perform at comedy clubs to rise through the ranks of stand-up comedy and make a name for themselves. This drama series explores the famed Los Angeles stand-up scene of the 1970s as the comedy hopefuls stand alone on stage, "dying" for fame, fortune and -- if they're lucky -- a shot on Johnny Carson's show. Oscar winner Melissa Leo leads the ensemble cast as Goldie, a comedy-club owner who mentors a competitive but close-knit group of comics. She leads her business with an iron fist but nurtures the comics with tough love because she knows that there's no such thing as an easy laugh in their chosen profession.

I'm Dying Up Here is stuck on a dead stage, trying out any material it can and failing to pursue the few parts that deserve further exploration Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com 05/07/2018
Although building a series around "the tears of a clown" is a well-worn concept, like any good comedy, it's grounded by an undercurrent of truth. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 12/07/2018
Yes, the plotting feels obvious, so it's a good thing the actors are so good. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/28/2018 Underrated show. Hoping for third season See more 08/26/2018 Why aren't the critics lavishing praise on the most unexpectedly brilliant piece of Drama in 2018? It's a travesty that this came and went without the fanfare it deserved; a real step up in quality from the first season. A third season, please, Showtime..! See more 07/21/2018 season seems to have ended just as reached the real story of the strike action. Hopefully more of the real life events are included in the 3rd series (or is S2 to continue?) See more 07/10/2018 ignore the Professional crictics, they've got it all wrong. This is one of the best shows on television. See more 07/09/2018 Love the tragic drama of these comic characters. Supurb acting, nostalgic setting. Keeping my hopes up for a S3. See more 07/08/2018 I think its a great show. I’ll be very disappointed If it ‘s not renewed for 3rd seAson See more Read all reviews
