Louis C.K.

So one of my favorite stand up comedian right now is Louis C.K. I've seen every stand up show that he has available right now, and have seen most of them multiple times. His sense of humor really gets me going because i have the same attitude towards certain issues in our society. I can't stand cocky people who are full of themselves, so i am attracted to many comedians because they make fun of themselves and have nothing to prove. It just seems humble when someone can get on stage and point out and laugh about all of their own flaws.

 

Louis C.K. also has a show called "Louie" which i've been watching lately. The show includes a couple minutes of stand up throughout which reminded me of Jerry Seinfeld in his show. The shows follows Louis's life (fictional situations) and really reminded me of Larry David's show Curb Your Enthusiasm in regards to the layout of the show. The show is much dirtier then Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld's shows, and i think its completely hilarious. Louis's sense of humor and even outlook on life can be seen in the show, which is exactly the same all throughout his stand up routines. One thing that i noticed just from watching a couple episodes that relates to another post that i made was that Louis made jokes about killing children, raping children, and stereotypes on black people just in the first couple episodes. Offensive material is what makes stand up comedians what they are!
