Pete Holmes Returns in HBO Comedy
Crashing: Season 2
Available for Digital Download April 9th
Creator and star Pete Holmes delivers a “terrific” (Entertainment Weekly) performance as he pursues the adventures of a newly divorced stand-up comic in Crashing: Season 2, available for Digital Download on April 9th.
Going deeper in the world of stand-up comedy, Pete explores the alternative comedy scene—a land of nerds, apartment shows and no-drink minimums, where he begins to thrive. As he continues to lean on the hospitality of comedy greats, Pete explores all types of diverse encounters, which test his enthusiasm and optimism, but also promise to make him a better comedian as he tries to survive the competitive world of New York stand-up.
Praised for its ability to “mix the madcap with the poignant,” (Los Angeles Times), Crashing: Season 2sees the return of veterans Artie Lange (Mad TV, The Howard Stern Show), Lauren Lapkus (Orange is the New Black) and George Basil (Flaked), while actress and stand-up comedian Jamie Lee (Girl Code) joins in a recurring role as Ali Reissen. The series is executive produced by Holmes, Judd Apatow and Judah Miller.
