Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox television 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 trying to make a go of it in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The main characters are played by five real life stand-up comedians, and debuted at the real MICF.[1][2] Throughout the show, real Australian comedians are name-dropped, and real Australian comedians make cameo appearances as themselves.

The series was created by Greg Fleet, directed by Ted Robinson and is based on a 2005 play.[3] It was filmed in 2010, with some of it even being shot during an actual MICF gala, but due to issues with the show being picked up, it did not air until 2014.[4]

Plot

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.
