Damn. This is hilarious. I love the agent/booker, she's a blast. Tudyc is such a pompous ass in this. I don't know wether to root for him or not. He brlliantly plays both sides of a likable douchebag. Props to the short gay guy, the successful best friend, frodos buddy, the guy who wants his pen back and every other character in season 1. Hope to watch season 2 now. Looking for it.
I got to see this Crowd Funded show with a few friends and had seen the title before but did not realize who was in the show. For all fans of MMORPG, SciFi, CosPlay, and all the "CONS", it is a MUST SEE! Even if you only get into it 10%, this show holds you rapt around the stigma and dogma of SciFi and its trappings. With all the ups and downs that the actors, shows, and productions have to live and deal with, this follows what happens when one of the stars, who played the lead pilot in their now canceled show, goes around to the different "Cons" speaking about the show; and what happens to him and his agent. Starring the cast of Firefly / Serenity, this had me waiting to see what was going to happen next. There are many guest appearances and cameos throughout the show that it is hard to keep up with them, but do keep up.
Comedy about scify and the movie cons . Has bin actors who are pigeon holed in scify and the loss of opportunities in Hollywood. Thesesxarecfun witty hilarious short skits but all woven together by spoofing on firefly and serenity. Alan tudyk is a genius. The writing is smart ahumorous satire. Tudykwritescand directs some of the cast from Firefly. This tongue and cheek about movies, agents, and the dark side of the acting business gets increasingly rich from one skit to another. Scify is branded as a lesser genre and Tudyk elevates it with his humor. The cast and visiting actors keep it fun and lively.
Love this show. It is so funny and I love all the characters, especially the booking agent. She is hilarious. Good writing.

The show feels a lot like Spiner's Fresh Hell or at least the basic idea does. However, the production value and the list of guest stars (which is basically the a Who's Who list of fan favorites in the sci-fi / fantasy genre) are miles ahead in Con Man and the story and characters are overall a lot funnier. The premise of the show is about a sci-fi actor who's entire career is defined by his role in a short lived TV show and how he struggles with this "creative-stigma" on a daily basis. The humor mostly comes from scenes between Tudyk and convention fans, convention volunteers, his booking agent and other actors in his circle. And the anecdotal aspect of it (since Tudyk plays a parody of himself) makes this show extremely funny and I had to pause a couple of times to recover from laughter before continuing to watch. Though, in my opinion it also has enough funny material for people who aren't familiar with Firefly and Tudyk to make it just as entertaining to watch.
