New York Comedy Festival: Louis C.K. at Carolines On Broadway
Part of the allure of seeing Louis C.K. is that any comedy fan can point up at the stage and say, "That's me up there!" The same fits of joy, frustration, anxiety, and hilarity that haunt us all make their way into Louis C.K.'s jokes about race, family, aging, sex, eating, and so forth. He's always personable and relatable onstage, not to mention in his Showtime special, Chewed Up, or in his short-lived HBO sitcom Lucky Louie. (Here's hoping his upcoming series for FX, Louie, fares better.) Few other comics, alive or dead, perform with such well-honed intensity.
