If you like Curb for the outsized personalities, I would recommend Dice.

'Dice' Clay also plays a semi-autobiographical buffoon, playing off his persona.

His early stuff is in the mix as something he deals with, but it's not the focus of the show.

If I had to use concise adjectives to describe it, I'd say it's madcap, goofy and warm-hearted. But it's really funny, too. He's basically a grown-up little kid running around Vegas hustling to trade on his past stardom while also dealing with the mundane things of life.

There's the tension of 'how's he going to blow everything up by being an asshole' while he pulls off situations by zigging when people expect him to zag. He's still being an asshole, but a goodhearted asshole.

It's not the same as Curb where Larry is an asshole by insisting on things you agree with him on, but to the point of confrontation. More he's a guy you expect to say or do something stupid, but h'e more a tough talker with a soft spot.

Plus the co-stars are a murderers row of hot talent of the day. [I'll leave it to you to find out who does the best Dice impression you've seen, you'll actually laugh at him doing Dice's material even though you first saw it 20 years ago]
