Being a comedian seems like it is a luxurious lifestyle, and it is when you reach the heights achieved by the likes of Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno. When a comic is starting out, the situation isn't as extravagant as it is for the stars who have made it big after years in the business. "Flophouse" profiles up-and-coming comics who live together in communal homes, waiting for something to happen that might elevate them to another level of fame. The show goes inside the homes where the groups live and often host their stand-up shows, including living rooms, backyards and garages. Some of the featured homes include "Babe Island" in Los Angeles and "The Convent," a collective of artists, musicians, activists and comedians in San Francisco.
