When Go-Go Boy Interrupted began airing on YouTube last year, the balls-out uproarious web series immediately went viral. Developed by writer-actor Jimmy Fowlie, the show follows a West Hollywood go-go boy named Danny Carter, who at the age of 30 has been deemed over the hill and fired from the club he has danced at for the past nine years. After a hilarious seven-episode season, Fowlie and the other members of Go-Go Boy Interrupted’s creative team, Jordan Black and Brian Jordan Alvarez, have been busy pitching the show to networks. While they continue to do that, they have decided to move forward with a second season of the online series for the supportive viewers who have been asking for more escapades from the interrupted go-go boy.
With his failed attempts at babysitting and AA behind him, the upcoming season will see Danny continue his quest to try and reclaim his former glory in West Hollywood’s gay scene. He’ll explore the possibilities of doing gay porn, give dating a try and make an effort to broaden his horizons by listening to NPR. The cast of the first season will return along with new additions such as comedienne Fortune Feimster, Broadway star Nick Adams and Willam Belli.

Although partial funding for season two has already been secured, Fowlie and his team have turned to Kickstarter to raise the rest of the money in the hopes of producing Go-Go Boy Interrupted properly. Before you go rolling your eyes and scoffing at another crowdfunding endeavor, you should know that backing this project comes with some pretty interesting perks. Aside from the usual reward packages that get offered in these types of campaigns, there are options that allow backers to go out on a date with a cast member from the show. The eligible men featured in these rewards include Dakota Greene, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Nick Adams and even the go-go boy interrupted himself, Jimmy Fowlie. There are also a few rewards that will fly out a “go-go boy helper for the day.” Doesn’t that sound delicious? It’s almost as if they sensed the void that now exists in the aftermath of the Rentboy.com shutdown.
How about we take this to the next level?

While we wait patiently for more Go-Go Boy Interrupted, rewatch the first season’s seven episodes below (they’ll autoplay after the teaser and are slightly NSFW):

I really wanted to like this show. It had lots of potential. Setting is good. Brian Jordan Alvarez and Nico Santos are gems. Some lines are witty and funny.
But unfortunately they don’t sum up.
Jimmy Fowlie is very cute and likable (important for a comedy character), but his acting skill is really problematic. I am not saying I hate him, actually opposite, but he needs to improve his acting to lead a show. This is not even an ensemble show. Jimmy character is supposed to be the everything for the story.
I wish their good luck and have more chances.
Once again, I really want to like this show.

Go-Go Boy Interrupted Season 1 was a nice, funny presentation. It definitely deserves a Season 2.
Go-Go Boy Interrupted shows that gay people who have arrived to that state of acceptance where there can actually be an un-PC gay character. I mean,
Question: “What’s your favorite thing to do in LA?”.
Answer: “I guess coke”
Meanwhile these desperately serious gay blogs are all trying to convince advertisers that gay men don’t pee and poop.

30 years old and still wanting to be a go-go boy? What a sad character.

Just the opposite for me: I think Jimmy Fowlie is a particularly *good* actor. Screen presence, delivery, etc. And technically the series is very well put together.
In several scenes I’ve watched, I thought Jimmy and his character Danny are one in the same: cute, twink, and slighly dim-witted.
Then I’d see an outake, where Jimmy breaks character, and realize he’s quite sharp, but plays his character very well. Likewise in the Kickstarter video; he’s pretty saavy.
Several of the other characters are well done too. And several are over-the-top, just as they should be (The older queen that Danny wakes up to but isn’t quite sure he’s had sex with. Danny’s drag queen boss. And Danny’s friend who won’t help Danny shave his ass, but offers the helpful suggestion to “use a mirror”.)
I really like this series, and hope to see more.

I won’t give them a penny of my hard earned money.

Ummmm Yeah
@sportyguy1983: Well yeah. That’s what the series is about.
Ummmm Yeah
By the way Miss Yvonne from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse plays his mother.

@sportyguy1983: “30 years old and still wanting to be a go-go boy? What a sad character.”
Yeah, walking home with a couple hundred bucks for a few hours work is downright depressing, eh?

@Finrod:
Earning a couple hundred while gogo-ing only happens in the big cites and on the weekends. Not to mention the dancer’s looks and body have to be, without a doubt, exceptional. Yes, the extra money is good but if you’re pushing early thirties you should probably be focusing on your career or mastering your craft. Plus there are a lot more hot young things that are willing to take your place.
This is what makes the show funny to me. It’s a satire on how gay men suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome.

30 is the New 50… apparently it has been since 1963!
