Confession: I’m somewhat of a stand-up comedy whore. Sure, when it’s bad, it’s just awful, but I’m willing to wade through the crap to find the true geniuses. Basically, anyone who can illicit a true belly laugh from me has my heart.
When Dave Chappelle decided he hated being Comedy Central’s slave (“I’m RIIIIICH, beeeeyotch!”), and that it was too difficult for him to reconcile his particular brand of humor with being a “good Muslim,” I cried for days, mourning the loss of my favorite funny man. Okay, I didn’t take it THAT hard, but it definitely bummed me out. Who would fill the void???
Enter Louis C.K. Yes, he’s been around for years, but for some unfathomable reason, he’s not disgustingly famous…yet. He has a new show that recently debuted on FX, and since I don’t have a television, I’m depending on the rest of you to watch it. You can also do yourself a favor by checking out his tour schedule – catching him live and in person is well-worth the money. If you’re broke, get your funny-bone tickled for free by taking a gander at the clips I’ve posted below. You’re welcome.

Very nice… Louis CK has been my favorite comedian for years now. I feel like he’s not really being used on TV and movies properly though. Hopefully Louie will own… I don’t see how it couldn’t.
The only movie I’ve seen him in was Ricky Gervais’s ‘The Invention of Lying’…in which he played a fucking moron side-kick. I didn’t buy it. He needs some meatier material and then he’ll be golden.
i first saw his act on TV back in, ohhh…maybe 2003. he said if he had all the world’s money- I mean, A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY, enough to do ANYTHING he could possibly want in the whole wide world- he would buy all the world’s pants, every pair of pants in existence, and burn them. NO MORE PANTS! (and he’s had my heart ever since)
good lookin out Britt!
