I'm Dying Up Here (2017–2018)
6/10
Decent show, but not enough laughs
7 October 2021
My only problem with this show is that none of the comedian characters have ANY good material. I know they're all supposed to be up-and-coming, and they often receive feedback from Goldie and each other that they're "not ready" and "not good enough," but even when a comic is supposedly "killing" and the whole club is cackling at one of their bits, the material is just really bad. There are still funny situational moments in the show, but the stand-up sets all just seem poorly written to me-like sometimes the punchlines don't even make sense. The actors are decent at delivering the material as if it's good, though, and that's something. Similarly, the banter among the comics usually isn't as funny as they act like it is. The dialogue is snappy but not necessarily humorous when it's supposed to be.
