    Hillarious. He can get dirty however so keep that in mind.

    The best part is when he smashes the watermelons with a giant mallet.

    Most are yes. Just didn't want you bringing small kids or something.

    Louis CK makes Chris Rock seem like a family comedian. :shock:

    He's considered by most (including other comics) to be the funniest stand-up on the planet, but he's extremely hard edged and can get very... strange. :twisted: He's written for some very funny TV shows, and has a TV show about himself on cable, so if you like him, there's plenty more to see.
    Is it too much to ask for a full-blown Temple of the Dog set? Probably.

    whoa. really glad I knew my Chicago trivia last night . literally got stopped outside of the Vic Theatre last night by some people that worked for TBS (http://www.justforlaughschicago.com). Played a mobile trivia game against 2 of my friends, 5 questions later I had a pair of 11th row seats for the show tonight.

    I saw him a few weeks ago in Atlantic City. It was the greatest comedy show I've seen yet! He's been called the best comic of this generation, and I believe it! :D You won't regret going! and His FX show "Louie" season 2 starts 6/23, check it out!

    If you like dirty humor you will love him.

    And for random fun YouTube Donald Rumsfeld lizard. Not his usual material but something funny regardless.


    I would pay a lot of money to see him BTW. Go and enjoy!

    Definately a very dirty, hilarious MF'er. Goes places other comedians do not. I do not want to even type one of his sickest jokes I can think of as it will not translate well in print. Jim Norton is another you will have to see after seeing Louis C.K.

    Saw Jim when he taped Monster Rain. Great as always.

    You will probably laugh so hard your face hurts. :D

    That's my least and most favorite part of comedy shows... wishing my smile would stop because it kinda aches. :mrgreen:
