Louis C.K. probably isn't happy with Donald Trump becoming our likely new Beloved Leader, but at least he's getting out of the house: The comedian and auteur just announced tour dates for this month and next, and tickets are on sale now.
C.K. will be performing at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ, on May 19 and 20 and then, on May 25 and 26, he'll be at Foxwoods Grand Theatre in Connecticut. He's only heading to four more cities—Baltimore; Chicago; Wilkes-Barre, PA; and Reading, PA.
Over the weekend, C.K. discussed his long Louie hiatus in a podcast with the Hollywood Reporter:
"I don't ever want to do the show because I owe another season," he says. "I don't think that's fair to anybody." But can we expect it to return in the foreseeable future? And, if so, in what form? "I think the guy that I played on the show, the just-divorced kinda under-water dad/struggling New York comic — I don't think I have stories for that guy anymore," he reveals. "But the show is autobiographical, so what [FX President] John Landgraf and I have always thought is that it may come back with a different set of stories from a different angle a little further down the road. And I don't know where that's from yet, so it just depends on if it writes. I think, for me, if I'm on TV again doing a single-camera show, it's Louie. But I don't know. I have no idea. I needed to not know if I'd ever do it again — I needed to feel that way — so that's the way I feel right now."
As for Horace & Pete, his self-funded drama that he released on his own website, C.K. is not actually "millions in debt". See, he was just being amusing for Howard Stern! He said, "The tax rebate we're getting from New York State and the amount of sales we have so far have put the show in the black. The show's paid for — with no advertising. There isn't a TV show with this kind of cast that has that kind of success."
