The series stars Freida Pinto, Babou Ceesay and Idris Elba, who also serves as an executive producer through his company Green Door Pictures. Rory Kinnear, Nathaniel Martello-White, Daniel Mays, Denise Gough, Brandon Scott, Zawe Ashton and Nicholas Pinnock also star.

Set in the 1970s Los Angeles stand-up comedy scene, “I’m Dying Up Here” stars Melissa Leo, Ari Graynor, Michael Angarano, Clark Duke, Andrew Santino, Erik Griffin, RJ Cyler, Al Madrigal and Jake Lacy.

The series is created and executive produced by Dave Flebotte, and executive produced by Michael Aguilar, Jim Carrey and Christina Wayne for Endemol Shine Studios and Assembly Entertainment.
