Louis C.K. Just Released His First New Stand-up Special In Years

  • Louis C.K. Released a new stand-up special called Sincerely which can be purchased for $7.99 from his website. 
  • Sincerely is the first special from Louis since the 2017 Netflix release of 2017. 
  • Louis said the special was released during the coronavirus pandemic because people "need to laugh." Louis has largely been absent from the stand-up world after a number of women came forward and accused him of sexual misconduct a few years ago.

    • The coronavirus pandemic has effectively put the entire stand-up industry on standby. Comedy clubs are closed, nationwide tours have been canceled, and open mics are nothing but a distant memory. Even the top comedy festival in the world — the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal — recently decided to push back its annual event from July to late September.

    Put simply, the coronavirus has forced most stand-up comics into the longest hiatus from stand-up they've ever had. A recent tweet from famed stand-up Drew Michael encapsulated the situation perfectly:

    In the midst of all this, Louis C.K. Of all people decided to come out of nowhere and release a new stand-up special called Sincerely. The special is an hour-long and marks the first time we've seen polished new material from Louis in years. Famously, audio of a Louis C.K. Set leaked out in December of 2018 but that was presumably comprised of unfinished material he was still testing out.

    Sincerely can't be found on any of the major streaming sites, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that Netflix parted ways with Louis after a number of women came out and accused Louis of sexual misconduct in late 2017.

    At the time, a Netflix spokesperson said:

    The allegations made by several women in The New York Times about Louis C.K.'s behavior are disturbing. Louis' unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with female colleagues has led us to decide not to produce a second stand up special, as had been planned.

    As a result, Louis released Sincerely on his website for $7.99.

    Does Louis' new special have anything to do with the fact that much of the world is stuck at home on lockdown? Why yes it does. In a statement coinciding with the release of the special, Louis said that the special was released because people need to laugh in these particularly turbulent times.

    "I feel like there are two kinds of people in this world," Louis said. "One kind needs to laugh when things get shitty. In fact, the shittier things get, the more serious, the more dark the more terrifying, the more dangerous and dire anything is, the more important it is to laugh in the midst of it and often directly in its face."

    The special can be downloaded or streamed via the official Louis C.K. Website over here.

    That's It, Netflix Just Cornered The Comedy-special Market

    Netflix is making damn sure Netflix gets the last laugh.

    The streaming giant on Wednesday announced Louis C.K. Will debut two new stand-up comedy specials exclusively on the platform. The six-time Emmy winner joins Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Amy Schumer ... And just about all the other big name comedians who have taken their jokes to Netflix in exchange for its global audience and big paycheck.

    Last year, Netflix announced that after an eight-year absence from doing stand-up, Chris Rock will tape two new specials that will debut on Netflix worldwide. Netflix reportedly outbid HBO by dishing out a whopping $40 million.

    And that was just the beginning.

    Shortly after, Dave Chapelle cut a deal with Netflix for three stand-up specials, marking his return to TV specials after 12 years. Jerry Seinfeld in January moved his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee from Sony's streaming service Crackle to Netflix as part of a multifaceted production deal.

    Amy Schumer, who also had many specials on HBO, will also debut her latest comedy special on Netflix March 7.

    Louis C.K. Has an interesting relationship with streaming. He directly released his stand-up special Louis C.K. Live at the Beacon Theater on his website louisck.Net for $5.

    The comedian also decided to independently distribute Horace and Pete, a drama series he wrote and directed, on the website. Hulu eventually acquired exclusive streaming rights in December.

    The first of Louis C.K.'s Netflix specials, titled 2017, was filmed in Washington D.C., and will premiere April 4.

    "Louis has been one of the most innovative comedy voices in this new era of stand up," Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix, said in a statement. "He has also been a thought leader in the business of comedy. We have marveled at his creativity and his ability to invent comedically  and commercially, and are thrilled that he is bringing his newest specials to Netflix."
