Veteran comedian Louis C.K. is making a highly anticipated return to the stand-up stage with his "Ridiculous" tour, marking his first major tour in nearly two years. The tour, which Louis describes as featuring a "gargantuan amount of shows," is set to commence on April 17 with two sold-out performances at the Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg, Canada. The tour is scheduled to run through April 4, 2026, with its final stop at the Hawaii Theatre in Honolulu.
The initial announcement of the tour has generated significant excitement among fans, leading to sold-out shows in several cities. In response to the high demand, additional dates have been added, including second shows in Nashville, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Athens, and Istanbul, as well as a third night for stops in Boston and London. The tour will also feature two performances at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre and one night in nearby Long Beach at the Terrace Theater.
In an email to his fans, Louis C.K. shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour and the new material he has been working on. "I am working out in many clubs now and [through] the next few months getting the new jokes, stories and general stupidities ready for the tour," he wrote. "I took about two years off before this tour and I'm very glad I did. I'm having a great time on stage now and I'm excited to share this crap with all of you."
Tickets will be selling fast
Louis C.K. also provided a link to his personal website for fans to purchase tickets and get more information about the tour. He humorously acknowledged the financial aspect of the tour, writing, "Go here for tickets to my live professional standup comedy performance tour shows in stages in various theaters and venues around the country and world where I will make joking words and laughter will happen in your body and then some of your money will be mine and some will belong to the venues, their employees, my employees, the government, various ticket and promotion companies but mostly it will be mine."
In addition to his stand-up comedy, Louis C.K. has been exploring other artistic endeavors during his time away from the spotlight. In a previous update to his fans, he revealed that he has taken up sculpture and drawing, and has written a novel with a second one in progress.
Louis C.K.'s return to the stage comes after a challenging period in his career. Despite this, his dedicated fan base has remained supportive, and the excitement surrounding the "Ridiculous" tour suggests that many are eager to see him perform live once again.
