Comedian Louis C.K. basically cancelled his FX series “Louie,” but left a window of hope for fans saying, “It’s such an autobiographical thing that I could do a version of ‘Louie’ when he’s 60, if anyone gives a sh-t…” So maybe there will be a comeback.
In the meantime, C.K. fans can rejoice over the comedian’s latest announcement where he said he is embarking on a worldwide stand-up comedy show for almost a year! The “Trumbo” star kicked off his tour on Tuesday in Baltimore and has appearances scheduled all across America, Europe and the Middle East.
Other good news about this tour is that he will keep the prices at about a maximum of $50 dollars after being inspired by Prince to do so. “For me, the bigger rooms I play and more work I get, the less I should charge. That's just my personal formula. If I'm making more money, I can afford to charge less,” he explained.
As for why he wants to do this show at this moment of his career, C.K. told the Associated Press that he realized over the past few years that “the best you can be as a stand-up is when all you're ever doing is stand-up.”
When asked if he would be changing or adapting his material for certain cities like Jerusalem, the comedian responded that he thinks “it makes no sense.” The comedian added, “They're there to see an American comedian. I think when you try to gear anything to an audience, you end up as a softer, weaker version of yourself.”
Last month, C.K. told Howard Stern he had gotten a credit line for his online drama series “Horace & Pete,” which was making no money at the time, but that is not at all the motivation for this tour. In fact, the comedian told AP that it is all good now. “It's all back now. The show's already made back the debt. I'm out. I'm in the black now. That's just from sales of the series.”
