From executive producer Jim Carrey and based on the bestselling book by William Knoedelseder, I'm Dying Up Here explores the struggles of "making it big" in the 1970's L.A. comedy scene. Every night, a group of young, up-and-coming comedians wait their turn to perform at Goldie's, the hottest stand-up club in Hollywood. But first they'll have to win over club owner Goldie, who rules the Sunset Strip with an iron fist. For them, stand-up is a drug, and they're willing to sacrifice everything to get their fix. They brave the pain of sharing their innermost thoughts and darkest secrets, hoping that someone - anyone - will laugh. At Goldie's, they have found new rivals, but they have also found family. When one of them makes it, they all make it and when they fail, they fail together. But if Johnny Carson's couch is the Holy Grail, do they wait for Goldie to say, "You're ready," or fly blind and possibly miss out on their one shot at stardom? Includes all 10 witty and sharp episodes, and featuring Academy Award winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Ari Graynor (The Disaster Artist), Clark Duke (Hot Tub Time Machine 2) and Michael Angarano (Almost Famous). Showtime and Paramount Home Media Distribution have announced that on May 29th they will release the Jim Carrey-co-exec-produced show I'm Dying Up Here - Season 1 on DVD. This 3-disc set is priced at $33.99 SRP, and includes all 10 episodes of the freshman season. It arrives in stores a few weeks after the cable debut of the show's second season.
