The Comedy Store

I watched "I'm Dying Up Here" (back in) 2017 barely aware it was inspired by historical events, seeing this now felt ...like ventolin 4 an asthmatic !

I think anyone could have produced a good documentary on The Comedy Store and it would be an enjoyable watch. But Mike Binder made this so much more and it's a truly special piece of work. I could yammer on ad nauseum who gives a care what some random dude on the internet is saying. Just watch it. If youd on't, you will have missed out on something truly wonderful and you will feel that void in you for the rest of your days.

Do yourself a favor and watch it. I've watched it 5 times. It is scored beautifully. It's soooooo entertaining and no matter how much you think you know about the Comedy Store, you'll definitely learn something new. The best stories I've ever heard are contained in this documentary. Mike Binder did an amazing job. 10 star reviews down the board. I couldn't believe how many comedians Mitzi was responsible for,

Started watching while being bored and couldn't stop. So much history of the Comedy Store that was amazing and sometimes sad to watch. Thank you Mitzi Shore for keeping the place alive in the hard time's RIP

Great memories of some of the most solid comedians of our time-I'm a little disappointed in the reliance on nutjobs like Carrey, Letterman and Apatow (what a putz) but I think Binder wanted to use his friends for the name recognition so whatever.

The Wayans boys, Kinnison, Allen, Keaton (he was damn funny, no seriously) Dice, Byron Allen, Rogan, Roseanne, Wright, etc., back when comedy was so damn funny, no fear, eff your feelings.

It's funny to hear the stories behind the comedy, what was really going on with Mitzi (always been the worst kept secret) we all heard she was going after some of the guys, that Paulie only became a 'thing' because of his mom (it really explains a lot) ran the store, etc., but it's a well constructed anthology, and fun to look back. Too bad it didn't happen before Mitzi's departure.
