Update: If you missed out on getting tickets to see Louis C.K. because they sold out, you are in luck. The comedian has added a second show scheduled for Dec. 10 at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets cost $29-$65 and are available at Ticketmaster.com.
Comedian Louis C.K., who put his popular TV show “Louie” on hiatus to go on an extended stand-up tour, will perform at Wamu Theater on Dec. 9. Tickets are $50 and available via Ticketmaster.com.
In 2015 he was the first comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden three times on a single tour; he later released the audio from those shows on his website, LouisCK.net, with a pay-what-you-want option for fans.
The comedian told the  Associated Press his reasons for putting his Emmy-award winning TV show on hold.
