People are torn as to whether or not he should do these unannounced comedy sets that he's been doing the last year or so, what with all the controversy that surrounds his past sexual behavior towards women. Does he deserve a comeback after admitting to sexual misconduct last year? Rose Byrne, who starred in the comedian's directing job "I Love You Daddy" has taken issue with the unannounced comedy sets.

Media coverage mostly negative on Louis C.K's return to stand-up

August 31, 2018 Jordan Ruimy

Don't we just live in a wonderful world, filled with unity, zen-like attitudes and non-judgmental medias. Of course, that's all baloney and you know it. Take for example the case of Louis C.K.

The 50-year-old comedian was shunned from the industry last fall when reports started to filter through mainstream news that, well, he liked masturbating in front of women in his dressing room. A rather perversely surreal act on the part of the actor/director/comedian.
