Dying of Laughter

Dying of Laughter (Spanish: Muertos de risa) is a 1999 Spanish black comedy film co-written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia which stars Santiago Segura, El Gran Wyoming and Álex Angulo. The plot tracks the mishaps of a comedic duo formed by Nino and Bruno, who actually hate each other.

Nino and Bruno are two comedians who first meet each other in an Andalusian nightclub during the waning days of the Franco regime. When they discover that the audience enjoys their humor as a duo, they decide to become a comedic pair and quickly rise to stardom. Beneath their success and adulation, however, the pair develop an acrimonious relationship with each other.

Produced by Lola Films and featuring the participation of Telecinco, the film had a budget of 350 million Spanish peseta (c. €3.2 million).

The film, which premiered on 12 March 1999 in Spain, grossed €6,299,097 at the Spanish box office, the second highest-grossing Spanish film of the year, behind All About My Mother.
