This one-hour Showtime series explores L.A.'s famed '70s stand-up comedy scene where the careers of legends such as David Letterman, Jay Leno and Richard Pryor were launched.
The series delves into the inspired, damaged and complicated psyches of those who stand alone in front of an audience "dying" for fame, fortune and, with any luck, a shot on Johnny Carson.
This fictional group of competitive but close-knit comedians is mentored by "Goldie" (Melissa Leo, who played the creepy Nurse Pam on Wayward Pines), a brassy comedy club owner who rules over her business with an iron fist, but nurtures her comedians with tough love.
For Goldie and her crew, there's truly no such thing as an easy laugh.
