Hilarious

Just heard that Louis C.K.'s concert film, "Louis C.K.: Hilarious" is going to be shown in Vancouver at the Empire Theatres Granville 7 Cinemas tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 25, at 5 pm. At least I think that's the show time. It's not listed on the press release, which you can read below, but his New York publicist told me that's where it's playing. And look, there it is on the theatre's website. I haven't seen it, but having seen him live a few times, I'm pretty sure the title is appropriate. If you're somewhere else in Canada, don't fret. It'll be at a theatre near you (if you live in one of the other 15 cities it's playing). Read on:

LOUIS C.K.’s STAND-UP CONCERT FILM

LOUIS C.K.: HILARIOUS

TO SCREEN IN THEATERS IN 16 CANADIAN CITIES

ON NOVEMBER 25

November 3, 2010 – Just For Laughs is bringing the Canadian premiere of Emmy-winning writer and comedian, Louis C.K.’s highly-anticipated stand-up concert film, Louis C.K.: Hilarious to 16 Canadian cities on Thursday, November 25. A list of theaters, show times and ticket info is available at the end of this release. For more information on Louis visit www.LouisCK.net.

In this unique and dynamic live concert film, Louis C.K.’s exploration of life after 40 destroys politically correct images of modern life with thoughts we have all had…but would rarely admit to. Louis C.K.: Hilarious, premiered at The Sundance Film Festival in January as the first stand-up concert film presented at Sundance. Directed by Louis, the film received rave reviews with Variety declaring, “Standup comedy cinema has a new star in Louis C.K.: Hilarious.” Filmed at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee on April 18, 2009 as part of his international theater tour, Louis C.K.: Hilarious confirms why Louis C.K. is the most respected comedic voice of his generation.

Louis is currently touring theaters across North America with his new show, Louis C.K.: Word, including a sold-out night at Carnegie Hall on November 4. He has performed several times at the Just For Laughs festival, and hosted his own Gala at Just For Laughs Toronto this summer. Also this summer, Louis starred in his own critically-acclaimed FX series, Louie, which was picked up for a second season after airing just five episodes. Louis is executive producer, writer, director, editor and star of the series based on his life as a stand-up comic and single father of two living in New York City. Louis starred in the film The Invention of Lying and was seen in a recurring role on the NBC series, Parks & Recreation. In 2009, Louis was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special for his second hour special, Louis C.K.: Chewed Up. Chewed Up, is available on CD & DVD and Louis’ first hour special, Louis C.K.: Shameless, is available on DVD.
