I'm Dying Up Here (2017)

"I'm Dying Up Here" is the Showtime drama set in the cutthroat world of 1970s stand-up comedy. It follows a pack of hungry comedians clawing for a break in the Los Angeles club scene. Beneath the backstage rivalries, the series digs into the messy personal lives of its characters. That means plenty of skin alongside the punchlines. Ari Graynor, playing one of the most driven comics in the cast, gets tangled up with co-stars in several unfiltered scenes. Xosha Roquemore turns up nude in sequences that add real heat to the archive. Ashley Romans brings her own explicit moment to the mix as well. This hub collects 6 scenes total, catching the series at its most exposed. For fans of gritty period drama with something extra behind the jokes, it delivers.
