In the first season, set in 1958, Miriam “Midge” Maisel is a young, upper-class Jewish-American housewife and mother of two, living contently on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Each week, Midge’s husband, Joel, an amateur comic, performs at The Gaslight Café. She considers it a fun couple’s activity, unaware the untalented Joel wants to be a professional comic. After a particularly dismal performance, a dejected Joel leaves Midge, confessing his affair with his secretary. Upset and drunk, Midge returns to the Gaslight in her nightgown and stumbles onstage. In a bawdy impromptu set, Midge shares her predicament with the audience, then is arrested for obscenity.
