The world-famous American stand-up comedian, who admitted to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct back in November 2017, offered a virtuouso C.K. performance consisting entirely of original material. During the show, C.K. joked about his usual favoured array of subjects including relationships, religion, and sex, as well as more controversial topics such as the handicapped, the Holocaust, and (most controversially of all) his own past history of sexual misconduct.

Famed for his dark humour, C.K.’s new material seemed even darker than usual – though this didn’t at all appear to faze the audience, who, if anything, were only eager for more by the end.

C.K. also gave what appears to have been a similarly well-received performance earlier in the evening at the same venue, with audience members present claiming that they were “crying with laughter” and that they “laughed so much [their] stomach hurt”.

The warm-up acts were also strong, with Tony Woods, in particular, giving an excellent performance.

(Due to online leaks of some of his previously unpublished material, Louis C.K. has now claimed copyright over all of the jokes delivered in his show, making it legally perilous to repeat any of them in any online medium. Click here for an interesting discussion of the lawfulness of this move.)

Every city or place has a lot of things to say. But not all of them really communicates with you. Now, New York is a city that has so much to express and will not stop until it gets the message across. It will provoke thought, induce laughter, even rattle your sensibilities. It ultimately reminds you to take a pause, pay attention, stay in the present moment, and appreciate the beauty and fun of the here and now. It’s just what makes NYC, NYC.

Here are some ways the Big Apple has been hijacking my attention and reminding me that I’m on vacation these past few days.

Okay, good to know.

Okay, if you say so.

So this is how it’s going to be when machines take over the world.

Don’t cha, babe.

Something to ponder while sitting on a bench at Central Park.

Waiter, one order of disco fries please. Alors, on danse.

Read the handwriting on the projector!

More awesome, you mean.

“We’re not sure. We haven’t checked with the other cafes yet.”

Don’t forget, it’s Mother’s Day soon.

Perfect. I’m in the mood for some et cetera.

Please stay in business forever.

Ladies, unite.

Have mercy on the plumber, will you?

Where you can have your nails done while checking your email.

So do we. We’re just on vacation at the moment, okay.

Right, mom?

Is it 3 PM yet?!

Pu*%#@, je t’aime aussi!
