This show that's just started on FX in the States is hilarious. Starring stand up comedian Louis CK portraying a version of himself (similar to Curb in that respect).
It's kind of like if Woody Allen was non-Jewish, tall, red headed, more vulgar and made a TV show. Great shots of New York and fantastic original soundtrack by Reggie Watts
Anyone else watching? Just watched the 5th episode. So great.
Great show!
Also love the ballsiness, almost every episode has an idea aiming for than just funny.
Thought Ricky Gervais' cameo kinda sucked though.
Yeah I'm with ya on the Gervais role. Pretty pointless.
Not big on the Seinfeld-esque stand up bits but yeah as a whole it's quite unlike anything I've seen before which is refreshing
Yeah, I've watched the first 4 episodes. There's something that is annoying me about it though but I can't really work out what it is yet. Like I said in this thread it feels like it's trying too hard to be contoversial.
Ginger is the new jew.
Ginger is the new jew.
this show is so good.
normally i'm indifferent to ricky gervais but i thought he was hilarious in episode 3.
good shit this.
Interesting that ep 5 took a turn into more surrealist style comedy. I think the writers are still trying to work out what they want the show to be.
Just seen a couple of these myself. Had me crying with laughter in parts, although some scenes with all his friends sitting round a table just jivin' irked me. Too much 'bloke' for me. Loved Gervais!
Overall, fan of this
this is seriously hilarious. check it people
Newest ep ruled
Last 2 eps of the season on the downloads now! Better get renewed for a second season
Oh it has! Excellent
yes. good show. i've been thinking about the expression ''like a blood and come filled shoe'' for a while now
Whenever I'm in a good mood these days I start singing ''And I'm shitting in Hitler's mouth''
only got one episode left to watch, sad. that one about the crucifiction was intense.
Excellent look at an episode of Louis' previous HBO show that got cancelled and of his work in general.](http://www.avclub.com/articles/lucky-louie-kim-moves-out,53266/)
New season in June!
Oops here
Very keen.
Heckler episode is gold.

performed at the Comics Lounge last night
Damn, that would've been great.
Absolute gold!!
Pamela Adlon's daughter did a good job.
so who caught him melbourne? i begged my way into the show with the woman at the ticketmaster counter, and it was fucking hilarious. incisive and just plain gross all in the same sentence.
seeing him tonight; that's what i like to hear, astral
it was non stop brilliance in Melbourne
Elias, Lions, Gene Hackman, etc
Yeah, was a fantastic show, close to the best stand-up I've ever seen live. Can't believe he came down here, really. Good on him. And good on the nervous Melbourne support act (who went on before Tom Gleeson at the 9:30 show) for lucking his way into such a sweet gig. Guy would've been stoked!
i saw the 9:30 melbourne show and thought it was excellent too. dark, obscene, honest, hilarious. louis is brilliant.
i'd forgotten tom gleeson opened until just now. he was completely dismal.
''My wife spends soooo money! Why do women do that, amirite fellas?'' (paraphrased Gleeson set)
At least I wasn't all laughed out by the time Louis got on stage. Maybe Tom was doing us a service by being so pedestrian?
er, ''soooooo much money'' would be the paraphrasing I meant to do. As you were.
tom gleeson wasn't that bad. i had some yucks. louis was fucking funny as shit. the stuff about his family background was... something else. i had the good fortune to be sitting behind a guy as fat as louie said he wanted to get. glad i didn't see him in the toilet.
i liked the way he showed up in the lobby after the show shaking hands, answering questions and taking photo's with the punters. what a pro!
Athenaeum show was brilliant! I laughed so hard I was in pain, and lost my voice as a result. I still have a husky sore throat as a result. Non stop laughs, what a pro indeed.
Take a rock.
Put it in the bag.
Nice!
''WAVE TO ME!''
''wait for you?''
I love Pamela Adlon! She should be on Twitter.
Louis CK learns about the Catholic Church
I wonder why the Telegraph missed an opportunity to do a an indignant story about this filthy comedian being allowed to perform on the hallowed stage of the Opera House.
yeah i had the same thought. on one hand, thank fuck no one did - on the other, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference.
from an email Louis sent out
''...my show LOUIE (season 3 premieres on June 28th at 10:30pm)...''
also you can buy a bunch of his older standup stuff at louisck.com
The standup album he put out, 'Word,' has about half of the same material from the Aus tour last year. It's quite good!
