How can there not be a thread for this guy's stand-up already? He's such a great writer and performer.
Few clips for those who haven't seen him yet:

I tried to watch some Jack Whitehall afterwards and couldn't. LCK puts 99% of stand-ups to shame.

P.S. Apologies if this should be in 'Foreign Comedy' rather than 'People & Stand-Up' - I wasn't sure.
He's brilliant; I've got a few of his stand up specials, and his TV show, 'Louie', is just as good.
I'm a recent convert, and I have to agree, he's exceptional.
'Lucky Louie' (an unconnected predecessor to 'Louie') is also well worth a watch.
Thanks for the link, been meaning tochecking him out and I can see why he's rated.
I remember him appearing on the Jack Docherty show, back when Channel 5 first started. He was a lot fatter back then.
I think he's a brilliant comedian and currently the best new-ish american comic.
I recently got hold of his early album Louis CK live in Houston; from ten years or so ago. Interesting to see how his style has developed. Back then he was a bit more absurd.
Any seen his "sitcom", Louis? I put it in quotes because its so much more than a sitcom, I was praying to see something like this from him ever since I saw his first live show - I can't believe it actually happened, love this guy
Louis C.K's new stand up special is available to download exclusively from his website for five Dollars.
Will download soon. Read some very positive reviews.
Not sure what people here think of Opie and Anthony but the shows with Louis C.K are brilliant (about 80 hours of Louis C.K being funny - woooo!).
Just watched the download. Some very very funny moments. I'm slowly becoming a fan of stand up, and am thinking of trying my own hand at it.
I'd love to watch Louis and Seth Rogen chatting.

Seth Rogan comes in at around 47 minutes.
I forgot to post this earlier, apologies but Louis did a live webchat on reddit IAmA - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/n9tef/hi_im_louis_ck_and_this_is_a_thing/
He seems to still be doing it, better be quick though. It's been going for about an hour.
Love his new hour, well worth the fiver (well, "five bucks" aka £3.23).
He has grown exponentially since his early specials to a kind of gross-out genius.
