Emmy Award and Grammy Award winning comedian Louis C.K. – creator, executive producer, director, editor, and star of FX Network’s critically acclaimed series Louie – will perform a special engagement, Louis C.K. at Austin City Limits Live.
In a statement on louisck.com from Louis, “This year, I'm trying something new, building on the fun, success and fan-benifit of selling my content online… I've cut the ticket charges way down and absorbed them into the ticket price. To buy a ticket, you join NOTHING. Just use your credit card and buy the damn thing.” Back in December, 2011 Louis released his last standup special, Louis C.K. Live At the Beacon Theatre, directly to consumers through his website for $5. The move was hailed as groundbreaking and was a tremendous success. He has since added additional content to the site including audio downloads of “WORD-LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL” and “SHAMELESS.”
Louis was nominated for four 2011 Emmy Awards for Louie, which will have its season premiere on Thursday, June 28 at 10:30 PM, and his standup special “Hilarious” including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Special and Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special. He recently won four awards at the 2012 Comedy Awards including Sketch Alternative Comedy Series and Comedy Directing TV for Louie, as well as Comedy Special of the Year and “Stand Up Tour” for Live at the Beacon Theatre. Louie was honored on many year-end top 10 lists including AFI, Time, Entertainment Weekly and dozens of others. “Hilarious” was also honored with a 2012 Grammy for Best Comedy Album.Thursday, December 13, 2012

Austin Monthly on SOLD OUT: Louis CK: Day 1 Early Show @ ACL Live at the Moody Theater
5 months agoC.K. in the City (Dec. 13-14) The 45-year-old comedian, born Louis Szekely (the C.K. is a take on the Hungarian pronunciation of his name), has a self-deprecating and highly cynical style that makes up the bulk of his stand-up act, which ranges in topics from his poor health, to his lackadaisical parenting skills, to his inability to get the younger women that he always wants to chase. It’s also the basis for his Emmy-winning FX show Louie, which he writes, directs and stars in. With so much cynicism, it’s no wonder the road to stardom wasn’t easy for C.K. After writing for shows like Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the Late Show with David Letterman and The chris Rock Show in the ’90s, he got his own sitcom on HBO, 2006’s Lucky Louie. It was canceled after one season. He bounced back, though, with appearances on TV shows like Parks and Recreation and in movies including The Invention of Lying. Then Louie came along, and the rest, as they say, is history. A comedian’s comedian, C.K. was determined to make tickets for this tour affordable for his fans. Instead of going through a middleman, he avoided service fees and hidden charges by selling the tickets to his shows directly through his website. For the lucky people who got tickets to his ACL Live shows (all four sold out quickly), you’re in for a treat. acL Live at the Moody Theater, 310 W.
