American comedian Louis C.K. is coming back to tour in Israel a little over two years since his last visit. C.K. is known for sidestepping political correctness in his work as well as using dark humor.

The comic, who was popular with millions both for his live shows and for his television series, Louie, where he played a thinly veiled version of himself, was accused by several women of sexual harassment in 2017. He didn’t deny their allegations and some felt that he did not express sufficient remorse for his actions.

The allegations then made C.K. persona non grata nearly everywhere and his television series was canceled. He returned to performing in August 2018 and was well-received when he performed in Israel in 2019.

This time around, shows will take place on February 21, 22 and 23 at the Tel Aviv Theater (formerly Beit Hahayal).

Tickets are available at *9964 or bit.ly/3L2lU1o
