Tirades by Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. is a disillusioned family man and no one knows it better than his fans. For the past several years, the New York-based comic’s anecdotal humor has touched heavily upon the day-to-day frustrations of being a husband and father, an apparently inexhaustible topic that he rants about with fine-tuned fervor and plenty of f-bombs. His new stand-up tour – which landed in Sarasota this past the weekend – featured all new material, including plenty of tirades about his wife (who hates him with such intensity that he respects her for it), and his two young daughters. The most hilarious highlight of his family-oriented bits, however, was one I’d already heard him relate on a recent episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, about getting a stomach ache, having to go to the hospital to prove to his wife that he’s really sick, the prescription for opiate suppositories he’s given to treat his “ailment,” his inner turmoil at having to stick said suppositories up his ass, and the subsequent blessed relief that spread through his body beginning at his asshole.

Not that his entire routine was family-related. He reflected on a range of topics – Rent-a-Centers and the sad saps who “shop” there, being 40 and half dead, his absolute hatred of deer, his need to jerk-off on a daily basis, using shocking words like “cunt,” and plenty else.

He breezed through the set like a pro and broached two potentially objectionable topics – cleaning the shit off his 2-year-old’s private parts and jerking off in the midst of the September 11 attacks – with such dynamic gusto that the room was forced to laugh rather than examine their own discomfort. Overall, a great night of comedy and definitely worth the drive to Sarasota.

I don't know why he didn't come to Tampa. He's been here before. We love him here. We want him to come here. So...

I heard it through the grapevine that Les McCurdy is pretty tight with a number of well-known comics ... maybe he and CK are friends? Or perhaps he was offered a deal he couldn't refuse? I think it's most bizarre because tourist season hasn't started yet in Sarasota. But the room WAS packed, so I guess the lack of out-of-towners didn't matter.

It just hit me how much Louis C.K. looks like George Carlin in this photo. It's a complete "Carlin stance." The show was great, by the way, and going to McCurdy's felt like visiting a piece of comedy's past. You know, back when the smoke in the room could choke a small child, the language was foul and real, and the material was biting and edgy. Thanks for the tip off Leilani.
