We Are Who We Are. The second season of Showtime's dramedy I'm Dying Up Here comes to an end on July 8, but will the network delve back into that world again?

Loosely inspired by real events and executive produced by Jim Carrey, the show hasn't exactly bombed, but it's not quite a home run either.

As of right now, fans don't know whether the series will come back in a few months or if this Sunday's episode will be its last.

The Hollywood Reporter announced the renewal of Season 2 back in September , a few weeks after the first season finale aired.

So it's possible there won't be any news at all until the dust from the season settles, or even until this fall. However, premium networks like Showtime don't follow the same predictable schedules as basic cable networks, so really, the news could come at any time.

At the end of Season 1, Showtime asked the I'm Dying Up Here writers to hash out some rough plans for Season 2 over the course of a few weeks, programming president Gary Levine told Deadline.

Only after that brainstorming session did the network review the material and decide to move forward with Season 2.

It's possible that something similar could happen this time around, although neither Levine nor anyone else from Showtime have confirmed that, either.

According to the stats on TVSeriesFinale. There's actually been a 26 percent spike in overall viewers in the second season, from. Under most circumstances, that would probably be a good sign for the show's ability to hang on, but TVSeriesFinale.

Interesting and fa Great story, I was hoping there would be a bit more humorous stories, but was satisfied with what was portrayed.

Interesting and fact filled and some fun to read. Sep 15, Sara Goldenberg rated it it was ok. Most of the book was about The Mitzi Shore Dilemma; when she didn't want to pay the comics that were on their way to becoming stars, and how they had to live on the bar food that they ate before their sets because they were starving, and wearing shoes that had no laces or soles.

I didn't enjoy that. Feb 12, Mike Maas rated it it was amazing. Remember Steve Lubetkin. He used to work at The Comedy Store. Jan 24, Simon Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: humor , non-fiction.

Mitzi Shore? More like Shitzi Shore Am I riiiiiiight? Nov 29, Karen Chung rated it really liked it. This book is an interesting study in human ambition, power struggle and the power of money, and its lack.

The only choice for many comedians just getting started was to work for free, and they often didn't have enough to pay for the next morning's breakfast.

It's fascinating to be in on part of the backstories of comedians who are now mostly household names. But the book may leave you with a sense of melancholy over how things maybe could have gone better, but didn't.

Mitzi Shore does not emerge This book is an interesting study in human ambition, power struggle and the power of money, and its lack.

Mitzi Shore does not emerge from the account smelling like a rose. But this book will hit you in the face with how the blacks are never all black, nor the whites all white - life is complicated.

And what you end up considering the best times of your life may slip by before you notice, and after it's too late to experience anything like them again.

Jul 25, Bob Nebel rated it really liked it. I loved reading about how great talent was born and developed in the s Los Angeles comedy scene showing us their triumphs and challenges trying to make people laugh.

The author is also great at describing the era when young comedians got together in the wee hours of the southern California mornings to collaborate on comedy ideas and forge deep friendships.

The good times and successes were also met with tragedy in many circumstances. The only negative I walked away with after reading the book is the heavy detail on how the comedians formed their own organization to set up a strike against Shore's Comedy Store.

This is very readable, although sometimes a little scattered as Knoedelseder tries to capture the antics and personalities of a whole stable of comedians.

The book gets better as it focuses in on the organization of a group to protest the lack of payment for comedy "showcases" even when the Comedy Store and other clubs were bringing in thousands of dollars in cover and drink money.

The standoff between the young comedians and the stubborn Shore is interesting and for the most part , well told, there are some great digs at strike-buster Garry Shandling, and the death of one of comedians at the end of the strike is really moving.

Knoedelseder has some writing quirks some of which are pretty sexist in an old white dude journalist clueless kind of way -- are all lesbians really "militant feminist lesbians?

I'm still trying to figure out why we the lives and careers of stand up comics and professional chefs are so super interesting, but that's probably a question for another venue Sep 27, Geoffrey Kleinman rated it really liked it.

This is the book that the Shotime series of the same name is based on. That series is a fictionalization of the book, but the book is actually non-fiction and it tells the story of the comedy explosion of the 70's and 80's.

The book is well written and flows between narrative and oral history really well. The first half of the book is the stronger half as it follows many of the threads that lead to the careers of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams and especially Richard Lewi This is the book that the Shotime series of the same name is based on.

The first half of the book is the stronger half as it follows many of the threads that lead to the careers of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams and especially Richard Lewis.

If the book were to really have a main character it's Richard Lewis and his story really intersects with many of the different branches of what happened in NY and LA at the Improv and Comedy Store.

The second half of the book gets really caught up with the quazi-union of comedians and their struggle with Mitzy Shore and the Comedy Store.

The conflict is important, but it dominates the narrative so strongly it eclipses many of the individual comics narratives. I listened to the Audiobook version of this book, which is well narrated by William Dufris, who does a good job keeping the comic timing from the sections of the book which are taken from the oral history.

If you are interested in this topic, I solidly recommend this book It wasn't dishy enough for me, although the stories he did tell were good.

I guess I was hoping to know how difficult living was for these people, how having their day jobs interfered with their writing, or helped it. I have been watching the TV series and I liked it, but I'm sure that's because the stories are being embellished a little.

There wasn't enough substance here. Interesting, as far as it goes Very well reported. A detailed history of the comedians' strike.

But there was not a lot of fleshing out of the comedians as individuals. I also would have loved to see the comedians' strike and the idea of working for free at a showcase compared to current ideas about interning and working for free for exposure.

Sep 12, Jerry Rocha rated it it was amazing. A must read for anyone who is or was a Stand-Up Comedian, and a great read for anyone who may want to know what misery and insecurity comedians go through.

Aug 23, Logan Noble rated it really liked it. This is a interesting window into what sounded like a wild time in that explosive age of comedy.

Sep 25, Marie Fouhey rated it liked it. Interesting book when it talks about the comedians, but the details of the walk out at The Comedy Store didn't interest me as much as the early sections.

Sep 16, Dave Keeshan rated it really liked it. This book is set in the period of the s when there was the comedy gold rush which started in LA.

Much of this rush was centred on The Comedy Store, located on Sunset Blvd, which was run by the wannabe benevolent dictator, Mitzi Shore.

The book starts with a contemporary scene, the death of a journey man comic, George Miller, in He never got huge, but was good enough to gig consistently from the 70s.

His death brings back together some of the people who were peers of his time. At the start one gets the feeling this is just to add sizzle to the steak.

However, after the opening chapter, the story falls back to the beginning. It is here you begin to realise that this is actually where all these names got their start, their real start.

Mitizi recognised and groomed the talent that arrived at her room and competed with each other to get stage time. No one disagrees with the fact that she had an excellent eye for comics that would go far.

The first half of the book details all the fun and games of being a comic in the 70s. There is of course sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Comedy for some was a job, and to keep doing it they needed to graduate to paying gigs. Make it here and doors open. Some get on and it launches their career, a small portion are still in the business all these years later, others get on, but they run a bit flat, maybe they had a bad night.

The second half of the book changes gears and slows down in some respects. She has convinced them, and sometimes I wonder herself, that she is providing a service to the comics to learn their art and use her room as a showcase to get paying gigs elsewhere.

Her room is the first and only comedy university. This seems to play for a while. When the comedy tsunami arrives, first in LA and then the United States, she is riding the crest of it, she literally can make and break anybody and is pocketing all of the proceeds.

Comics begin to see the disparity of packed out rooms, full bar services and being unable to buy their own breakfast the very next day.

This leads to the first comedy strike, a picket line is put up around the club and friendships are tested and in some cases destroyed, forever!

The remainder of the book details the strike and the complexities of that nascent world and how it gave birth to the standup format we see world wide today.

As the story unfolds it becomes clear that the Comedy Store is very influential on them and the careers they end up having. Jay Leno is actually an integral part of the strike.

Letterman is also present, but his own career is starting to take off at the same time. No reason is offered, only a description of how the two had been close friends before either was famous, which provides a context to why some might perceive what Leno did to Letterman as a betrayal.

It is a fun and informative book. Knoedelseder has done his homework, he was physically present attending and reviewing comedy during the period in question.

It is refreshing to go back and see the formation of a world that has become so ubiquitous since then, even though we also get to see it turn from it youthful beginnings to the corporate facade we now see today.

Dec 31, John rated it liked it Shelves: reviewed-by-me. Pro tip: If you read this book, have YouTube open and take a look at the standup of these comics: Many of them have become dim memories at this point, and some are quite funny.

I originally gave this a 4 but after sleeping on it, downgraded it to a 3 because there is almost no way this book is going to satisfy readers based on the title.

The book is a history of the scene around Mitzi Shore's Comedy Store on Sunset Strip, and in particular how the scene got through the "strike.

If you're interested in what made the scene's comedy tick, or if you're interested in the book with relation to the Showtime series, I'm not sure this is the one.

The first problem here is it is actually rather light on the heartbreak and the "high times" -- there isn't much about comedy per se.

We get a fair amount about the individual comics and their travails, which is genuinely interesting, but it doesn't really build to much.

On the other hand, as a history of a labor movement, it's quite good. If you want a textbook case of how to mobilize support, you can't do much better than this.

I'd quote some details but they would be spoilers. The second problem is that people are going to read this as the book that motivated the Showtime series of the same name.

But after reading this book, it is pretty clear that it was only inspiration, not a blueprint. I really like the Showtime series, but it has gotten some negative reviews owing to the fact that all of the characters are new maybe "Goldie" in the series is based on Mitzi - but if so, we never see here with her kids.

You would be hard-pressed to decide which of the other characters is based on Jay Leno or Dave Letterman. I think this is much to the credit of the series: They made some pretty believable characters but didn't tread on the real histories from this book.

It's there in the series: But there could be even more specification of direct relationship between the lack of pay in the club and the comics' hardships I know it's there, but it's structural in the book, not so much in the series.

And then the divergences from history are problematic: For instance, Mitzi's response to the rise of strong women in comedy was to create a women-only "Belly Room" in her club -- in the show, the young women comics are recruited for a women-only variety show: The latter provides for some interesting plotting, but it's just at odds with the history.

Now that I'm re-reading this I think I'm maybe being too negative. Jun 19, Frederic Kerr rated it really liked it.

The Comedy Store was one of a handful of big comedy clubs in town and was sought after by comedians looking for stage time, as well as by talent scouts for TV and movies.

Owner Mitzi Shore offered as many as 40 spots per night, but didn't pay her talent, at all.

Today, 40 years later, comedians still struggle to be paid. Standup remains a slog of long apprenticeships and very low financial rewards.

Rookies still work for free, for years. Only the big stars make big money, although hundreds scratch out a lonely subsistence on the road.

There are too many comedians chasing too few paid spots, with the food and drink business already having thin margins, so comedians' service is priced very low.

Supply of comedians always exceeds demand. Many other reviewers found the story of the strike boring. As an aspiring comedian who's been on stage for about four years, I thought the whole book was well done and interesting.

There's good insight into the personalities of some of the biggest comedians, like those mentioned above, as well as others.

A good read that took only a couple of days. Jun 04, Malcolm rated it it was amazing. Being old enough to remember some of the events of this book and the personalities involved, this book was great fun to read and I couldn't put it down.

If you're interested in a little slice of Hollywood history from the s, the golden era of stand-up comedy, check out this book.

Unfortunately, the Showtime series with the same name is only based on this book and is not about the real people and places discussed in the book.

I understand how it would be awkward, psychologically as well as legally, to portray Jay Leno, David Letterman, Richard Lewis, Elayne Boosler, Tom Dreesen, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and many others, while so many of those comics portrayed in this book are still alive.

Luckily for the TV series, however, it still has the same feeling as the book -- the same claustrophobic clubs, the same ambition, struggle and heartbreak of the comics, and the same greed and control of the club owners over the talent they showcased night after night.

At the time of her passing in April, , Ms. Shore was 87 years old. I found this book fascinating and thoroughly enjoyably. Sep 13, Alexis rated it really liked it.

Very interesting book, especially since my S. It took a bit for me to get into it, because the book is very much about the "scene" and not about any one specific comedian or character.

In the beginning, I got confused because I was trying to follow all the different storylines, and the author jumps very quickly from one comic's story to another, even within paragraphs, and readers are supposed to remember who is who.

Perhaps there is some assumption that the readers are co Very interesting book, especially since my S. Perhaps there is some assumption that the readers are comedians themselves, and therefore already know all the "comedy greats" of the 70's, but for me, most of the names besides Letterman, Leno, Carson, etc were unfamiliar.

Anyway, once I accepted that I should not try to follow each individual storyline, the book started to click for me.

I enjoyed the writing style, as it felt like Knoedelseder was actually a fly on the wall for all the different conversations and important moments.

He had a lot of great quotes and I like how he left the final assessment of the strike up to the reader -- he never told you whether the strike was good or bad, but presented both sides and let you struggle in the gray area.

This book will definitely leave me thinking. Inspirational, but heartbreaking Like any child of the seventies, it is hard to imagine another period of our lives that could live up to our memories of that special time.

Things were just different for the country as a whole. We were finished with Vietnam and no longer innocent in our belief that we were invincible.

But that also led us into an incredible time for creative endeavors of any kind. Look at the music, the art, the comedy and even television of that era.

It is hard to argue that a b Inspirational, but heartbreaking Like any child of the seventies, it is hard to imagine another period of our lives that could live up to our memories of that special time.

It is hard to argue that a better time for the creative arts existed within our lifetimes. This book captures that spirit of the comedy world beautifully You would be hard pressed to find anyone who came of age in that time that doesn't look back with the fondest of memories.

The struggles of that time brought us together like no other time in recent memory. Even our drug abuse reminds us of a coming together for creative purposes It led us into the eighties Nov 26, Ellison rated it really liked it.

Some could not handle the fame and violence followed. Meanwhile, they ply their trade for Free there has got to be an IRS law against that!

Efforts are made to alter the pay structure.
