Comedian Louis C.K. dropped the new comedy special “Sincerely C.K” on Saturday on his official website.
The controversial comedian former “Louie” star has been out of the public light since 2017 as sexual misconduct allegations against him began to arise.
The hour-long special was filmed in early March at Washington‘s Warner Theater, one stop of a comeback tour that began in the fall and was set to continue into the late spring before the COVID-19 outbreak scratched all live events.
In an announcement about the stand-up special, he says it’s for those who ‘need to laugh’ in these difficult times. He adds there’s two kinds of people – ones who believe hard times require laughter, and ones who give painful things the respect and the silence due to them:
“I feel like there are two kinds of people in this world. One kind needs to laugh when things get shitty. In fact, the shittier things get, the more serious, the more dark the more terrifying, the more dangerous and dire anything is, the more important it is to laugh in the midst of it and often directly in its face.
These people believe it’s no coincidence that human beings have survived despite our fragile hairless bodies, through the most difficult of times And that we are the only species, besides ladybugs, Who laugh at life.”
C.K. also addresses his own misconduct in the special, saying: “Men are taught to make sure the woman is OK, but the thing is, women know how to seem OK when they’re not OK.”
