With more than twenty years as a stand-up, Louis C.K. is one of the most honest and respected comedic voices of his generation, finding success in television and film as well as the live stage. He will bring his comedy tour “Hilarious” to Orpheum Theatre on Friday, September 26. The show will begin at 8:00pm.
As a stand-up, Louis has made the leap from stand-up clubs to theaters with his current national theater tour, “Louis C.K.: Chewed Up,” which has been taped as an hour special to premiere on Showtime in October. His first hour special, “Louis C.K.: Shameless,” premiered on HBO on January 13, 2007 to critical acclaim.
As a filmmaker, Louis is best known for his cult classic Blaxploitation spoof, “Pootie Tang,” which he wrote and directed. Louis’ most successful short film, “Ice Cream,” was screened at Sundance and the “New Directors, New Films” series at MOMA in 1994. “Ice Cream” went on to be sold in several foreign television markets and can still be seen on Bravo.
Louis created and starred in HBO’s first traditional sitcom, “Lucky Louie,” about the struggles of first time parenthood and he is currently co-creating a sitcom for CBS with Pamela Adlon who played his wife on “Lucky Louie.” The two will star in the comedy about a married couple who have been together too long and have too many children.
Louis will also star in the new Ricky Gervais film, “This Side of the Truth,” alongside Jennifer Garner and Rob Lowe. In July Louis will be seen in “Diminished Capacity” with Matthew Broderick, Virginia Madsen and Alan Alda. He was recently seen in “Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins” with Martin Lawrence, Mike Epps and Cedric the Entertainer.
