verocruz05 I would know. I have binge watched both seasons 3 times! The writing, the acting, the cinematography, the costume the sets......all are perfect. Compelling story telling. I got attached to majority of the characters and crave so much more knowledge on the characters backgrounds and future experiences. Please I beg of showtime to renew and give us Season 3!!
williaml-19874 Wonderful characters. Captivating. All well-acted. Like anybody trying to get ahead in any line of work, only more so in an outgoing line of work. Even the ones I don't like I'd like to know. Great stories artistically intertwined. Drama, pathos, joy. Organic development. Jokes on stage are just right -- some bad, some good, but obviously not yet professional, cause that's why they are at Goldies. The professional humor is off the stage. The things people say authentically in the spur of the moment, that they work to capture every night.
haslentz After a 'first career' in ordinary work, I decided to take a fling at stand-up comedy at the Comedy Zone in Jacksonville Florida for a second life. It's a major club that draws "A-list" comics from L.A. And NYC for the Thursday-Sunday shows. Us rank neophytes are given the opportunity to do 5-12 minutes on a Tuesday-Wednesday, and we learn from the local club owner who is a national booker of comic talent. We had to pay and complete an 8 week class, and then meet the standard in our 'graduation show' to be part of the team. About half make it. I'm Dying Up Here is so much like what we go through every week. We get paid nothing, we get one free drink each night we work, no food. I drive 50 miles one way to the club, at least twice a week. The owner is like Goldie - he knows the business, he's demanding but supportive, and if we work another club, we're in trouble. But he knows his stuff. Some who have come up this way have done well, going on to Hollywood and Vegas. We've met Arsenio, Tom Arnold, Sheri Sheppard, Ralphie May, Bob Saget, etc. You want to know what it's really like? Like "I'm Dying up here" - minus the sex. Or maybe it's just me... Look for a club that has a comic class - try it.
paulashton001 Like the tragically cancelled Roadies I'm Dying Up Here has not received it's due praise. It's funny and touching examination of the lives of upcoming comedians masks the true magic of the show, which is to relate universal struggle all of us face in trying to realize our future potential while nurturing healthy relationships and balancing responsibilities right now. Shooting for the top before fizzling out or exploding. Reconciling our past with our present. I don't know why these amazing shows have so much trouble finding an audience or critical acclaim. It seems like if character arcs are not clearly defined then critics think it is muddled. This is not the case though.I love this show as I loved Roadies. The history and trade knowledge serve to enrich the themes adding texture and ambiance. I love it. The critics got it wrong but an 80 percent favourable audience score on Rotten Tomatos sounds about right.
