Die on Your Feet


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. 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. 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.

Plot

Five comedians and flatmates figure out their shows and relationships during a run of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Brian Ibsen and Sophie Glass are antagonistic ex-partners whose separation has not yet been made public. O.J. and J.J. 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.
