tix look sold out though

Do you mean just for pre-sale, or the show in general? I haven't even got tix yet, as I'm trying to get into the Edmonton show, which must have a different pre-sale code than the one flip provided for the Calgary show. If the Edmonton show's sold out I will cry myself to sleep tonight.

EDIT: Hey flip, how did you get the password?

Even my wife found the four year olds are a-holes stuff funny.

wow, my story is EXACTLY the same. The guy next to me said at the end of the flight "what the hell were you watching that made you laugh that hard?".

Thanks for the password infor Flip. Just bought 2 tickets.

Damn fine comedian, one of my favorites at the moment.

Just wanted to bump this thread for people who didn't purchase pre-sale tix. Tickets went on sale for the general public 25mins ago. Be dialing!

He's not on Louis CK level, but I like him. It also really helps him that he's huge in India(aka the second-most populated country on the planet), which gives him more of an audience to work with than 99% of most comedians. I'm sure that revenue helps.

Just got my tickets today!

Engine09 · 07-31-2009, 12:10 AM

Late notice, but Louis was on the Opie & Anthony Show today. If interested just grab it of your favorite torrent site.

Nuje · 07-31-2009, 12:31 AM

Thanks for this thread. Got tickets, and it'll be great!

Sainters7 · 09-18-2009, 10:44 AM

Should've mentioned it last night before it happened, but Louis CK performed(and later was a guest) on the Tonight Show last night. He did about 5 minutes of his new routine from "Hilarious". The first couple mins started off a little slow, but by the end I was dying. I can't wait for November 6th!

Even more unbelievable - people pay $ to listen to Larry The Cable Guy.

Looking forward to seeing him, Rob Lowe & Ricky Gervais in The Invention of Lying

Bit of Louis CK news:

- he has a television show coming back on the air in the near future. I think its sort of a continuation of his last one on HBO, but he's divorced now and a single father.
- I believe he has a new special coming out soon called 'Hilarious'

Yep! He actually already shot it in I believe Minneapolis during the spring, I'm guessing it'll be out around Christmas time like 'Chewed Up' was last year.

He's mentioned repeated times in the past that George Carlin is his idol, and he wants to release a new comedy special every year like George did(and after its been shot, never use that material ever again, like George). For him to not only be that funny, but to do it with 100% new material every year, just goes to show how talented(and under-appreciated) he really is.

EDIT: To Icon, ya that's why he was on Conan, he was promoting the movie. They showed a clip of it, looks hilarious. I didn't realize they changed the title, as originally it was called "This Side of the Truth".

Just to clarify, George MOSTLY had all new material but was known for bringing out a few classics. Baseball/Football, Airports etc.

Also he didn't usually do a new one each year. AFAIK he only had 13 HBO specials. I could be wrong though. Now that isn't to say he didn't have a new routine every year, he just didn't release a new one every year. All in all I'd doubt he did one a year, probably a new routine every several years.

I saw Carlin in Jan (iirc) of 2008 or 2007 and he was absolutely fantastic. It was almost joke for joke identical to "It's Bad For Ya!". If you can't tell I htink Carlin is the greatest ever by a mile.

I have my tickets for Louis CK and I cant wait. He's a comical genius, I'm actually considering getting tickets for his Edmonton show and doing
both

Tyler · 10-02-2009, 05:56 PM

Me too! Super stoked!

That's as gay as looking another man in the eyes while masturbating! HAHA

Show was great last night. Odd that they sold more tickets than they had seats for, but was neat to have the folks on stage. Rogan is used to the meatheads and was pretty impressed he sold out, so I think he'll be back again. I had a great time.

Looking forward to Louis CK next month. Woop!
