Synopsis
I'm Dying Up Here (2017) is a Showtime drama you can watch online on iFILM, set inside the Los Angeles stand-up comedy scene of the 1970s. Jim Carrey, who came up through those same Sunset Strip clubs, executive produced the series.
A group of young comics — each chasing a Tonight Show slot — works under comedy club owner Goldie (Melissa Leo), who controls stage time and careers with equal ease. The show doesn't soften the hustle: addiction, self-destruction, and humiliating bombs sit right alongside the laughs. Melissa Leo anchors it, with Ari Graynor, Sebastian Stan, and Michael Angarano filling out an ensemble that keeps the drama grounded.
The period detail is what separates this from a standard showbiz story — Nixon-era politics, the first wave of truly taboo material hitting mainstream stages, and a world where stand-up was still arguing with itself about what comedy could say.
