Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks! I've been a huge fan of his since I discovered him about a year ago. I do reckon we're in for this. It might be worth noting his part in the upcoming Ricky Gervais movie, The Invention of Lying; I remain a huge fan of his stand-up material.

bouche Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 get your tix now. I got row BB! It'll be a real hoot. I got shut out of the 7:30 show because I found out about it so late. I'm happy that they added a late show. He'll probably get a bit more dirtier. He is a dirty fucker.Check out Lucky Louie from HBO. The show got cancelled, but season 1 was a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Anyone watching LOUIE? Totally digging it. Up to episode 10 now and it got renewed for another season! Brilliant writing and all over the map with subject matter, etc. This scene was particularly well done IMHO on many levels.

zero Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I don't mean to rub it in (really) but Louis' set at Ottawa Bluesfest was handily in my top 3 of all the sets I saw. In fairness a good chunk of why I haven't been able to write pretty much anything substantial since then has to do with whatever the fuck happened in the Black Sheep Stage tent that night. Let's put it this way, I stealth taped the whole show with my blackberry and can't even think about listening to it. Seeing him work closeup and actually improvise and spritz with the audience is really mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Saw this posted elsewhere the other day. Just another reason why Louis CK fuckin' ROCKS! I love this idea and am so happy it has been wildly successful. Totally worth the $5. I paid and downloaded instantly: https://buy.louisck.net/index.php/statement People of Earth (minus the ones who don't give a shit about this): it's been amazing to conduct this experiment with you. The experiment was: if I put out a brand new standup special at a drastically low price ($5) and make it as easy as possible to buy, download and enjoy, free of any restrictions, will everyone just go and steal it? Will they pay for it? And how much money can be made by an individual in this manner? It's been 4 days. A lot of people are asking me how it's going. I've been hesitant to share the actual figures, because there's power in exclusive ownership of information. What I didn't expect when I started this was that people would not only take part in this experiment, they would be invested in it and it would be important to them. It's been amazing to see people in large numbers advocating this idea. So I think it's only fair that you get to know the results. Also, it's just really cool and fun and I'm dying to tell everybody. I told my Mom, I told three friends, and that wasn't nearly enough. So here it is. First of all, this was a premium video production, shot with six cameras over two performances at the Beacon Theater, which is a high-priced elite Manhattan venue. I directed this video myself and the production of the video cost around $170,000. (This was largely paid for by the tickets bought by the audiences at both shows). The material in the video was developed over months on the road and has never been seen on my show (LOUIE) or on any other special. The risks were thus: every new generation of material I create is my income, it's like a farmer's annual crop. The time and effort on my part was far more than if I'd done it with a big company. If I'd done it with a big company, I would have a guarantee of a sizable fee, as opposed to this way, where I'm actually investing my own money. The development of the website, which needed to be a very robust, reliable and carefully constructed website, was around $32,000. We worked for a number of weeks poring over the site to make sure every detail would give buyers a simple, optimal and humane experience for buying the video. I edited the video around the clock for the weeks between the show and the launch. The show went on sale at noon on Saturday, December 10th. 12 hours later, we had over 50,000 purchases and had earned $250,000, breaking even on the cost of production and website. As of Today, we've sold over 110,000 copies for a total of over $500,000. Minus some money for PayPal charges etc, I have a profit around $200,000 (after taxes $75.58). This is less than I would have been paid by a large company to simply perform the show and let them sell it to you, but they would have charged you about $20 for the video. They would have given you an encrypted and regionally restricted video of limited value, and they would have owned your private information for their own use. They would have withheld international availability indefinitely. This way, you only paid $5, you can use the video any way you want, and you can watch it in Dublin, whatever the city is in Belgium, or Dubai. I got paid nice, and I still own the video (as do you). You never have to join anything, and you never have to hear from us again. I really hope people keep buying it a lot, so I can have shitloads of money, but at this point I think we can safely say that the experiment really worked. If anybody stole it, it wasn't many of you. Pretty much everybody bought it. And so now we all get to know that about people and stuff. I'm really glad I put this out here this way and I'll certainly do it again. If the trend continues with sales on this video, my goal is that i can reach the point where when I sell anything, be it videos, CDs or tickets to my tours, I'll do it here and I'll continue to follow the model of keeping my price as far down as possible, not overmarketing to you, keeping as few people between you and me as possible in the transaction. (Of course i reserve the right to go back on all of this and sign a massive deal with a company that pays me fat coin and charges you straight up the ass.). (This is you: yes Louie. And we'll all enjoy torrenting that content. You fat sweaty dolt). I probably sound kind of crazy right now. It's been a really fun and intense few days. This video was paid for by people who bought tickets, and then bought by people who wanted to see that same show. I got to do exactly the show I wanted, and exactly the show you wanted. I also got an education. And everything i learned are things i was happy to learn. I learned that people are interested in what happens and shit (i didn't go to college) I learned that money can be a lot of things. It can be something that is hoarded, fought over, protected, stolen and withheld. Or it can be like an energy, fueled by the desire, will, creative interest, need to laugh, of large groups of people. And it can be shuffled and pushed around and pooled together to fuel a common interest, jokes about garbage, penises and parenthood. I want to thank Blair Breard who produced this video and produces my series LOUIE, and I want to thank Caspar and Giles at Version Industries, who created the website. I hope with all of my heart that I stay funny. Otherwise this all goes to hell. Please have a safe and happy holiday, and thank you again for all this crazy shit. Sincerely, Louis C.K.

bouche Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Email from Louis C.K.Hi. This is LOuie. It seriously is me. Im even going to leavethe O stuipdly capatalized because who would pay an intern to dothat?? Okay so you bought the thing with my fat face on it andyou clicked the button that said i could email you. And i knowthat now you are thinking "aw shit. Why'd i let this guy into mylife this way?". Well dont worry. Because i really swear it thati wont bug you. I will not abuse this privalage of having youremail. You wont hear from me again... Probably, unless i havesomething new to offer you. The reason i'm writing now, in theback of a car taking me to the Tonight Show set, is to let youknow that as of now there is some new and cool stuff on my site,related to Live at the Beacon Theater. Theres a thing where youcan download and print a dvd box cover and label so you can burnand make your own dvd of the video. And theres a new option whereyou can gift the special to as many people as you want (for 5bucks each) and they'll get a nice gifty email from you with alink to the video.Also, some of you may know, i recently made a statement (thatsounds so dumb. Like i'm the president or something) about how thevideo has been doing online. Im pasting it in here below in caseyou missed it.Lastly I'm planning to put some more outtakes of the show onyoutube and i think i will put one on the site that is onlyavailable for free to you folks on this list, who bought thething and opted in. But dont hold me to that because really ijust thought of it and typed it.Okay well please have a happy rest of the year and more happyyears after that. And please even have been happy in your past.What?Thanks again for giving me 5 dollars. I bought 3 cokes with it.Regards. Sincerely, Actually,Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
