In case anybody didn't know, Louis C.K. is releasing his new stand-up special, Live At The Beacon Theater, for $5 on his site (either streaming or download) December 10th.

And, to get us faggots hyped up about it, he released an outtake from it.

Can't wait.

Louie is really the only comedian I can think of that would bypass HBO/Showtime/Comedy Central as a venue for a new special. I really hope he gets some success out of this.

I like Louis CK and I just finished watching Live at the Beacon Theater, but I'm concerned about the manufactured controversy surrounding him stealing content from David Cross.

Is this bullshit?

Stop posting your stupid videos.

Just watched Louis CK's newest special and I felt bad that I didn't give him more money. I might rebuy it another time just to feel better. That was absolutely phenomenal.

He recently added a gifting option!

If anybody wants to hear Dane's side (and you should can be found here) get the latest Ice House Chronicles with Joe Rogan, Ari Schiffer, Bert Kreisher, Brody Stevens and some other comics.

I'm actually completely in agreement with Dane.

I haven't heard any of Gaffigan's stuff but this seems like a good time to check him out on principle. If 2 comedians have big success with this in a row it could maybe start a thing :shobon:

I've never met someone that didn't like Jim Gaffigan's standup.

Start anywhere and enjoy yourself.

The point is that this "just comedy" defense doesn't work; comedians shouldn't have carte blanche to say literally any hosed up thing they want onstage.

They should though.

Patrice O'Neil said it best that the material people might find offensive comes from the same place as a bit others view as being brilliant.

And then Patton got up and did close to 90 minutes of new material that all landed solidly on its feet, not one dud at all.

So his new block of material completely consists of rape jokes?

Sold.

I laughed out loud at a Carrot Top set at Just for Laughs once, I'm REALLY easy to entertain... Kinison sucks.

Carrot Top gets a lot of poo poo but he's actually a really funny stand up.

I've heard this from time to time, and I feel bad talking poo poo without having more than a few minutes of gag material to judge him by. Could you point me in the direction of something to watch?

Honestly, I was just walking around the Luxor in Vegas and some guy offered me free tickets to his show. Much like everyone else I was pretty hesitant and wasn't expecting much, but I was amazed on how funny and quick he was with the audience.

HBO announces it's bringing @LouisCK back for a new standup special, to be taped from his current tour.

I am doing a standup special for HBO. It will be avail on http://louisck.com a few months after HBO, globally, 5$ no dmr

Uhh, what?

First Trent Reznor signs to a major and now Louis is heading back to HBO. It is what it is, and I don't really care that much since I'm a subscriber but I kind of liked the whole "directly towards the artist" way of distributing his specials.

Oh my god it took me about six years but I'm finally going to see Stella perform live at the San Francisco Sketch Fest.

I nearly screamed when the confirmation hit my inbox.

Thanks for the overview, feedmyleg. I'd seen that the UCB theaters were closed but I'd hoped it was because the comics were performing at special events. Guess I'll check out NYC comedy in Spring.

This is probably what it boils down to. Last year I saw Bill Burr, Dave Attell, Big Jay Oakerson, Joe Derosa, and Hannibal Buress all during New Years Eve last year.

This year I've got Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Schumer, Doug Benson, Arj Barker, Ari Shaffir, and Brendon Walsh.

Basically it's rather nice living near San Francisco around the end of the year.

Are there any strong opinions on which time to pick if a comedian is doing two shows in one night? I never know if it will make a difference, if the second show is any better or worse for coming right after the early one.

It's just a roll of dice, really. I typically go to the earlier show in hopes of the crowd not being too drunk.

Tremendous special. Probably his best effort since I Swear to God.
