Louis CK Info

Louis was born in 1967. Then, in 1984, he went on a stage for the first time. It was open mike night at a comedy club in Boston Massachusetts. Louis found that he had only enough "material" to stay on the stage for two minutes. It was a terrible experience. Louis did not try comedy again until two years later. After much struggling and humiliating failure, Louis became a part of the burgeoning Boston Stand- Up comedy scene.

In 1989, Louis moved to New york City. There were many, many (too many) comedy shows on television at the time and Louis appeared on all of them. He did Evening at the Improv, MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour, Comic Strip Live, Comedy on the Road and he even went on Star Search and lost to a fellow named Steve Mc'grew.
