Louis C.K. Looking to Make History at Madison Square Gardem with His Comedy Tour

Louis C.K. is looking to go three for three at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

The 47-year-old actor and stand-up comedian emailed his subscribers on Monday to announce a January 24 show at the iconic New York venue.

Louis CK

He previously sold out two Madison Square Garden shows this month, and if he sells out the third, he’ll be the first comedian to sell out the venue three times in one month for the same tour.

Louis C.K. sold out the first two shows without marketing or publicity, aside from an email he sent to his mailing list. January 24 will mark his final show of the tour, and he will begin production on his Emmy-winning FX‘s comedy series Louie shortly after the tour’s conclusion.

Louis C.K. was nominated for best actor in a TV series, musical or comedy at Sunday’s Golden Globes for the critically acclaimed series. Season five is expected this spring.

He has a history of marketing directly to his fans. In 2011, he sold a comedy special taped at New York’s Beacon Theatre on his website for $5. Sales topped $1 million.

His latest tour also saw him sell out the Chicago Theatre four times last week as well as the Forum in Los Angeles.

FX Gives 10-Episode Order for Comedy “Baskets,” Created by Louis C.K. and Zach Galifianakis

Louis C.K. will have double the work at FX

The network has given a 10-episode order to Baskets, a comedy pilot co-created by the 46-year-old Mexican American actor, comedian, writer, director and producer, Zach Galifianakis, Jonathan Krisel.

Louis C.K.

In a world constrained by corporate interests and the homogenization of society, one man in Bakersfield, California (Galifianakis) dares to follow his dream of becoming a professional clown. But after an unsuccessful enrollment at a prestigious clowning school in Paris, the only job he can find is with the local rodeo. Baskets follows Chip Baskets’ pursuit of his dream, against all odds, to be a respected clown.

“Zach Galifianakis, Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel have created an absolutely brilliant show,” said FX’s Eric Schrier. “To say Zach’s portrayal of the lead character Chip Baskets is hilarious/unique/riveting/fascinating would be an understatement. We can’t wait for the world to meet him.”

Galifianakis penned the pilot episode along with Louis C.K., who picked up a second writing Emmy on Monday for writing his own FX series Louie, and Krisel, who directed the pilot and serves as showrunner.

Production will begin next year for a 2016 launch.

FX Renews Louis C.K.’s “Louie” for a Fifth Season

Louis C.K. is still an FX man…

FX  has been picked up the 46-year-old Mexican American actor/comedian’s critically acclaimed comedy series Louie for another season.

Louis C.K.

FX Networks and FX Productions CEO John Landgraf announced a seven-episode fifth season of Louie Monday, noting that the run is slated for spring 2015.

“Louie’s fourth season was once again groundbreaking,” said Landgraf. “Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking – always thought-provoking. The show went to narrative and cinematic places no comedy has gone before, and we look forward to seeing what Louis comes up with next.”

The latest round of Louie episodes earned five Emmy nominations — including outstanding comedy series, lead actor, writing, directing and casting. In 2012, it was the first basic cable series in history to score a best comedy nom.

After a two-year lapse between seasons three and four, one C.K. took because he said he wanted the show to feel new again, Louie most recently aired 14 new episodes. Those aired mostly back-to-back on the FX parent network even though many comedy offerings from the cable network are now shifting to spinoff FXX.

Louis C.K., Blair Breard and Dave Becky serve as executive producers on Louie.
