We haven't heard much from Jim Carrey in recent years, but he is out and about at the moment promoting his brand new TV series, 'I’m Dying Up Here', which sees him take up position behind the camera as an executive producer.

The series is set in the notorious 1970s stand-up comedy scene in Los Angeles and is based on the William Knoedelseder’s book of the same name. The Showtime series will star Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, former Girls star Jake Lacy, Ronald Cyler II, Ari Graynor, Clark Duke and Michael Angarano.

It looks pretty damn promising, we have to say. Take a look at the trailer below:

'I'm Dying Up Here' will premiere on June 4th stateside, and hopefully not too much longer after that over here.
