In his ongoing effort to put out comedy specials more frequently than most people wash their duvet covers, Louis C.K. will soon tape an hour-long comedy special that will air on HBO some time in 2013.
HBO said on Monday that it would broadcast a new stand-up special by Louis C. K., the Emmy Award-winning comedian and star of the FX series “Louie,” to be taped during his current tour and shown next year. Louis C. K. said on his Twitter account that after this new special is shown on HBO, it would be sold a few months later as a $5 download at his Web site, louisck.net.
In other Louis C.K. news, he’s hosting two shows in Staten Island this Saturday at the St. George theater. Tickets are $65 and all of the proceeds are going to a charity to aid Hurricane Sandy victims. Tickets are available to Louis’ website. And for what it’s worth, I saw Louis C.K. a couple of weeks ago in NYC and found his current standup act to be even funnier than the previous two he’s done. And the last one was pretty damn funny.

I think we should all be constantly happy about the fact that Louis is blowing the fuck up right now. It’s so awesome.
The man is certainly having his moment and i have no problem with that.
Gingers were in desperate need of a win.
And that he continues to prove how awesome and deserving of that success he is.
I wonder if doing it on HBO will affect when the video and album go on sale because I’d just as soon have those at his earliest convenience than watch it at HBO’s convenience.
