With a simple “Hello, everybody,” television writer and stand-up comedian Louis C.K. opens his latest live show, Hilarious. This harmless salutation is the least-controversial thing that comes out of Louis C.K.’s mouth as he turns rants on everyday subjects (impatient people, his weight, fatherhood) into hilarious, expletive-laden diatribes where nothing is sacred—not even (gasp!) his children. Who else can name-check Ray Charles and Adolph Hitler in the same breath and elicit a chorus of raucous laughter?

Louis C.K. says what’s on his mind, even at the risk of offending, but his “I don’t give a f**k” attitude makes his irreverent brand of humor especially endearing and relatable. His self-deprecating style elevates his filmed live show to a form of therapy, where we, too, can get comic relief from some pretty warped subjects. At one point, Louis C.K. asks, “Where do you draw the line?” With him, there is no line.

Rated 4.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 mdatwood13 9:20 AM		A very good stand-up act. It's clear that Louis has decided that he wants to see how far he can push the line between shocking/offensive and funny. Most of his bits are successful in being on the right side of that line. A couple were not, most notably the very last line of the act, which is just disgusting. In my opinion, he can be extremely funny without trying to shock people, so we'll see how he continues to evolve as a comedian.
