In 2017, Louis C.K. was largely exiled from comedy after five women accused him of sexual misconduct at the height of the #MeToo movement. Cut to 2026, and he headlined a show at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the Netflix is a Joke comedy festival.
C.K. took the stage in L.A. on Tuesday night, the show serving as the final stop of the worldwide “Ridiculous” tour he’s been on for the last year. The iconic venue was roughly 75 percent full, mostly of male fans in their 20s and 30s, who came to life when the comedian started his set after four opening acts.
