Julie Klausner to bring live table read of ‘Difficult People: The Movie’ to New York City

Julie Klausner, creator of “Difficult People,” is rounding up the cast for a live reading of “Difficult People: The Movie.”  Starring Klausner and Billy Eichner, “Difficult People” is an American dark comedy series that followed a pair of comedians living in New York City while navigating struggling careers and social lives. The show ran from 2015-2017 on Hulu, and in 2022, “Difficult People: The Movie” was written, but was ultimately left unmade. Klausner told amNewYork that “Difficult People: The Movie” picks up right where the show, which ended in 2017, left off. The plot follows Klausner and Eichner after they have left show business, but an online interaction hopes to spark their careers again. “We get a call to action because somebody likes the YouTube videos of ours from 8 years ago, so we get very excited that we have a fan,” said Klausner. “Then we basically drop everything to meet up with this person in hopes that they will reignite whatever career we tried to have before
