LOUIS CK LIVE
November 17 2022 Louis CK performed at Brisbane Entertainment Centre. I've seen many of the great comedians especially Billy Connolly, Robin Williams and Steven Wright. The only great on my list who never came to Australia was Garry Shandling. As much as I love Jerry Seinfeld seeing him live didn't interest me. Of the others I've seen Dylan Moran who was extremely good.
All of these comedians take you on a journey because they have to, if you're doing stand up for a period of hours it has to be more than just jokes or a series of stories. the only disappointing thing about Louis was that he was on stage for only 75 minutes but I didn't feel robbed or anything.
Louis takes you on a journey that is always going to start in a weird place, but with him it's like starting at the bottom of Everest and in that 75 minutes you are going up that mountain until you reach the peak.The journey is great but reaching that peak really is as funny as anything you will ever see. He is the funniest comedian of them all.
The main reason you love a comedian is that you feel you think the same , or have similar routines in your head. I once did a routine at an Open Mike venue about Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ. A year or so later I saw on You Tube Louis doing the same subject and crazily we had some of the same lines. ( Like it's an interesting film in which Christ gets the fucking shit beaten out of him for an hour and a half).
I had thought he'd never come to Australia (again- he did a Melbourne and Sydney show around 2011/12) but due to his wrong doings which I don't condone at all , I think he will return in the next 2-3 years.
