Louis CK Had An On-Stage Sook About Losing $35 Million & Ahh Well M8

Louis CK has reportedly used another unannounced appearance at a New York comedy club to publicly address his admission of sexual misconduct for the first time since he retreated from the public eye 11 months ago. More to that, CK used the appearance to joke about the amount of money the entire saga cost him.

CK has been making repeated unannounced appearances across New York ever since his first initial two drew controversy, with the disgraced comedian said to be trying new material and generally avoiding his personal crisis, in which several women accused him of masturbating in front of them without their consent; charges he admitted to in a wide-ranging, pants-pissing mea culpa issued to media.

However this past Wednesday night, Louis CK appeared at the West Side Comedy Club on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and actually used his set to, among other things, point out just how much money the entire saga cost him.

According to reports from Laughspin, CK took the stage, unannounced and unbeknownst to the audience, and began addressing his shitty, decades-long behaviour by asserting the fallout had taken him “to hell and back,” and that “it’s been a weird year.”

Sources at the show assert that CK used his stage time to address the fact that random people have been booing him in the street, and that at the height of the fallout he “lost $35 million in an hour,” alluding to the fact that his own awful conduct – which had long been an open secret in the comedy industry – cost him a lucrative deal at FX and caused his completed film I Love You, Daddy to have its release cancelled by distributors.

While countless comedy clubs across the US have publicly stated CK will not be welcome on their stage, many more have openly welcomed him back as the typically feckless comedy industry struggles to figure out what to do with performers whose abhorrent sexual behaviour – or outright assault – is exposed in public.

New York’s famed Comedy Cellar, who hosted CK’s initial two “comeback” sets, have implemented a bafflingly-named “Swim at Your Own Risk” policy for audience members, which asserts the club will pick up the tab of anyone who feels uncomfortable watching an unannounced talent, but only if they do so without “making a fuss.”

~Cool.~
