The darker older cousin of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, this show chronicles a formative era for stand-up comedy. As characters battle, recession, racism, and their own demons they show us truly where comedy comes from. This show is witty, touching, historically accurate. As Patton Oswald puts it: "I know the stripper is the bell weather for bad parenting...but I put it to you this way, a comedian is way worse!"
