Louis CK

Louis CK is widely recognized as one of the best comedians on tour today and he has earned every bit of that reputation. I have seen Louie several times, most recently in Georgia in 2012 at The Classic Center, and every show has been hilarious.

Louie is not one of those comedians that engages with the audience by insulting people close to the stage (unless they’re heckling him) or making silly noises, doing impressions, etc. Louie tells relatable, funny stories from his own life, but then interjects them with twisted, profane, and sexually explicit thoughts that most people have but are afraid to say.

Every time that I have seen him we easily got what we paid for. Louie performed for at least an hour, often more, and seemed to have so much material that he could have gone on for hours more.

At the show in Georgia we sat next to an older couple who really had no idea who he was and were told to attend the show by their kids. I could tell they were uncomfortable at the start of the show because of some of the sexually explicit thoughts Louie was sharing and the way he was using profanity. But by the time he started sharing stories and jokes about his children, the couple was laughing hysterically. I even heard the older gentleman make a comment, “That’s just like our daughter.” While you may not always agree with him or like what he says, Louie will always win you over and make you laugh.
