Go-Go Boy Interrupted is an LGBT-themed comedy web series that premiered on YouTube in October 2014. Adapted from a Groundlings sketch comedy act of the same name, the series stars and was created by Jimmy Fowlie. It chronicles the adventures of Danny Carter, a 30-year-old "washed up" male go-go dancer. Fowlie commented on each of the first seven episodes via a column at HuffPost as they were released.

Overview

In the series, Fowlie portrays Danny Carter, a 30-year-old "washed up" male go-go dancer who "must discover a way to find his 'purpose' and survive within a different lifestyle as he moves on from go-going."[1][2] Based on Fowlie's experience as a go-go dancer in West Hollywood while attending the University of Southern California, the series asks the question, "What happens next after a go-go boy ages out of his profession?"[1][3] Fowlie told HuffPost in 2014:

Page Template:Blockquote/styles.css has no content.

In college I had worked as a go-go boy at this really popular club — and it was such an interesting world with outrageous characters: larger than life drag queens and 19-year-old party boys ... it just got me thinking — what happens when the party is over and someone can't leave? Dancing at a club doesn't give you any "real world skills". In other words, just like my degree in theater, it is worthless. When gay guys are using their youth and sexuality as currency, what happens when you get "aged out" of your career?[1]

Fowlie first performed Go-Go Boy Interrupted in June 2014 as a live sketch comedy show at The Groundlings.[1][2][4][5][6] According to Fowlie, the show continued with four months of sold-out shows, and he adapted it into a web series.[7] The live version is ongoing, with periodic performances scheduled through 2015.[8][9][10]
