The former star of TV comedy "Louie" announced
dates on his website starting in mid-August in New York City and
running through to December. He will also perform in Ukraine,
Germany, Denmark and Romania in early 2022.
The Emmy-winning comedian, 53, has adopted a low profile since
November 2017 when he admitted allegations detailed by five
women, including masturbating in front of some of them.
His TV shows, a comedy special and a movie were dropped as
Hollywood distanced itself at the height of the #MeToo movement
that calls out inappropriate behavior by powerful men.
C.K. did a handful of small gigs in New York comedy clubs in
late 2018 but was met with protests and walk-outs by women. Some
other celebrities, including Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock,
supported his right to a second chance.
In 2020, he released a standup special "Sincerely Louis C.K." on
his website.
