Some may remember Lucky Louie on HBO, it was a great show that had the numbers and fan base but was taken down by the press and HBO didn’t want that kind of standing for a show. If you’ve ever listened to the stand-up comedy of Louis C.K. (or have seen him live as I have) then you know what sort of humour you’re getting here. He doesn’t come off as the world’s happiest man.
In the show LOUIE, which debuts June 29 at 11PM ET on FX, C.K. plays himself – we see all of his guilt about being wealthy, his discomfort with being single in his forties, his curiosity about what’s offensive and what’s not these days. The series will be loosely based on C.K.’s life, and will blend his stand-up material with extended autobiographical comedy short films depicting moments of his off-stage experiences. Louie C.K. directed, cast and edited the show with a budget of $250,000 provided by FX. Watch it tonight!
