Louis CK unapologetic in his latest show: “I like to jerk off, and I don’t like being alone"

The Daily Beast

The disgraced comedian received a standing ovation at San Jose Improv last night in his first standup performance since his sexual misconduct scandal that was announced days beforehand. About 30 protesters showed up, including one man who was punched in the face after yelling at ticket-holders through a bullhorn. The Daily Beast reports that CK wasted no time addressing his sexual harassment controversy. "You’ve read the worst possible things you could read about a person, about me, and you’re here," he said. He later addressed his Parkland joke controversy. “If you ever need people to forget that you jerked off, what you do is you make a joke about kids that got shot,” he said. He later received a lot of groans joking about 9/11. "There was none of that old charming self-deprecation on display in this show," says The Daily Beast's Stacey Solie. "There were a lot of tired jokes, including one that sparked loud criticism after his previous show about black men having large d*cks, and Asian men having small ones “because they’re all women.” San Jose improv hired additional security for CK's performance, one of three scheduled this week. Audience members were also required to put their phones in sealed cases so that they wouldn't be able to record CK's performance.
