Die on Your Feet is an Australian television comedy series premiering on One on 7 August 2014. The eight-part series follows the story of five fictional stand-up comedians at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The main characters are played by five comedians, and the show had its debut screening during the 2013 edition of the MICF. [1] [2] The show incorporates real elements of the Australian comedy scene, through the name-dropping and cameo appearances of comics as fictionalized versions of themselves.
The series was originally written by Greg Fleet as a play in 2005, but he later changed it into a TV format. [3] It was filmed in 2010, with some scenes shot during an actual MICF gala. Due to difficulties getting the show picked up by a network, it did not air until 2014. [4]
Five comedians and flatmates figure out their shows and relationships during a run of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Brian Ibsen (Hills) and Sophie Glass (Grant) are antagonistic ex-partners whose separation has not yet been made public. O.J. (Brough) and J.J. (Gates) also have recently separated from each other professionally, having been a well-established comedy duo. They all rally together to help O.J. figure out his show and gala spot, as well as promote him, all of which he is reluctant to do.
