not a lot of comics do that afaik, particularly ones whose material isn't heavily 'topical' or largely improvised
― some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:38 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, there are comics that coast on the same material for years.

Hi. I'm going on tour all over America, or at least some of it.Tickets for this tour are available EXCLUSIVELY here on louisck.com.Tickets are 45 dollars, every seat, every City. That includes all taxes and fees. You don't have to join anything and you don't have to hear from me again unless you want to. Just cheap tickets to see me do an all new bunch of jokes.See you on the road, bitches.
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
yep the actual ticket cost for me was like $42.37 or something
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
because of edinburgh, which even the big comics do, i think most non-us anglo comics write a show a year. there isn't that pressure/milestone for us comics afaict.
$45 is apparently about half what he was charging last year, so i assume he could comfortably sell out a $60 tour forks
― caek, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 15:13 (eleven years ago) link
He played Bass Hall in Fort Worth last year (or, god, that might have been two years ago) - nosebleeds were $60ish and he sold that place out.

Got tix for his show in Baltimore on New Year's Eve. Early enough to not mess with any late night plans. Pretty stoked!

milo, did you go to that bass hall show? my wife and I went to that one. think it was two years ago

I didn't - found out too late and good tickets were getting scalped for waaaaaay too much

He was on Bill Simmons's podcast yesterday talking about how some comedians are going for $100 tickets these days.

In terms of starting fresh with new material, Louis claims Carlin taught him that; watch through this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R37zkizucPU

really want to see who he's talking about for the "best actor of the season" for episode 11, apparently he's a non-actor icon, was thinking it was Seinfeld but, no way
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
okay it's definitely not Seinfeldthis season is gonna be awesome, I really think it's going to be better than the first two

@louisckwell. after 45 hours, my tour has sold 100K tickets, box office gross of 4.5 mil $ (not all mine). I guess it was a good idea.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:01 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I initially thought $45 was pretty steep for a comedy show before finding out that's actually really low-end for a guy who's reaching Dave Chapelle-like levels of popularity
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:10 (eleven years ago) link
holy fuck. he sold out every new york show! I was waiting till the evening to balance my schedule. My bad i guess.i think it's likely he'll add a new york show though; i need to keep an eye out there.his twitter right now is awesome, he's just answering everyone.

tickets for the October 22 early and late NYC shows just went on sale. Bought two tickets for the orchestra pit, three rows back . Score.NY types, get yours now

ok, i'm not gonna wait till he plays philly. i bought two for the early oct 22 show
― Mordy, Thursday, 28 June 2012 03:41 (eleven years ago) link
btw, I thought the biggest reason that Pearl Jam and Radiohead and whomever were not able to circumvent Ticketmaster or promotors like Clear Channel was because both had deals with venues and they could lock out bands. So how did Louis CK get around that?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:19 (eleven years ago) link
Like, is he going all church basement and VFW hall indie (or equivalent)?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
playing @ venues w/o exclusive deals is my understanding yah
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
So if he was the sort who could draw a lot more - like Dane Cook - would he not be able to do what he did, or would he just need to do multi night stands like in NYC?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
basically. he said he couldve played madison sq garden but wouldve had to have $$ tickets & doesnt like the idea of stand up in such big rooms that much
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
Does the Season 2 DVD have any commentary? Would love to hear commentary on how some episodes/stories happened (Dane Cook for one), though on the other hand I don't really want to lost the weird-dream-ness of the show by learning too much.
― Odd Spice (Eazy), Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:32 (eleven years ago) link
wow he's performing at Severance Hall in cleveland, which is almost exclusively Orchestra/recitals/jazz once a year place

i haven't seen any. what i saw of the s1 commentaries was great, though; he was eating & just sorta zoning in and out for some. he goes into the dane cook thing in some length in this, iirc (if it isn't that it's part one of the same thing), it's interesting
