It must be Jimmy Fowlie day on BGPS, as we just posted Gay Guys Do Sex & The City, which he stars in, and now it’s time to talk about the Kickstarter that’s hoping to raise at least $65,000 to fund Season 2 of his great web series, Go-Go Boy Interrupted.
We loved Season 1, which was inspired by Jimmy’s own life, and followed his Go-Go Boy character, who discovers he’s seen as being a bit old to be dancing in his underwear in clubs and ends up getting fired. He then decides that perhaps he needed to find a new direction in life (while having fun and being a bit sexy along the way).
As Jimmy says on the Kickstarter, ‘When I first moved to LA, I worked as a go-go dancer and there were so many hilarious stories that I always wanted to write about them! A year ago, I filmed 7 sketches that followed the story of a go-go boy who turned 30 and then got fired from the club he worked at. I called it “Go-Go Boy Interrupted.” It was part of a live show I was doing at The Groundlings in Los Angeles. Some friends encouraged me to put it online, and so I released it as a weekly web series last October.’
Fowlie hopes that perhaps one-day a TV network will pick up the show, but in the meantime he’d love to make Season 2. However, while no one got paid for Season 2, that’s not really an option this time around, and so the Kickstarter campaign has been launched.
