Die on Your Feet is an Australian television comedy series premiering on One on 7 August 2014. The eight-part series follows the story of five fictional stand-up comedians trying to make a go of it in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The main characters are played by five real life stand-up comedians, and debuted at the real MICF. Throughout the show, real Australian comedians are name-dropped, and real Australian comedians make cameo appearances as themselves. The series is occasionally narrated by Greg Fleet's character, and piece-to-camera interviews from the comedians precede or follow some scenes.

The series was created by Greg Fleet, directed by Ted Robinson and is based on a 2005 play. It was filmed in 2010, with some of it even being shot during an actual MICF gala, but due to issues with the show being picked up, it did not air until 2014.
