Louis C.K.: 2017 Reviews

Finds Louis in his usual amiably schlubby but seriously askew conflict with life.

| Original Score: A | Aug 25, 2022

The new material is razor-sharp - a legit return to form...

| Jul 17, 2019

The change of clothing and role hasn't led to C.K. going soft.

| Jul 17, 2019

Much like the new dress code, its final cut is polished to near perfection.

| Jul 17, 2019

Both hilarious and slightly problematic...C.K. skirts closer to the edge without tumbling over and losing everyone's trust in the process.

| Jul 16, 2019

There are a few small issues along the way, but it's still a fun ride.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2019

The usual C.K. show - fresh, funny, smart, bleak, offensive, entertaining - with one minor demerit, for an overlong finish.

| Jul 16, 2019

It's good to see he can still get out in front of an audience and dissect the human condition for laughs...

| Jul 16, 2019

As 2017 shows, he's as skilled as ever at approaching dark, uncomfortable subjects, and producing remarkably hilarious material about them.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 16, 2019

His comedy is full of healthy realism, uncomfortable questions, without airs of superiority. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 30, 2017

It's easily his most cohesive special in several years.

| Dec 19, 2017

It's as if he's having a debate with himself and we're watching.

| Sep 8, 2017

But if 2017 isn't quite as funny as Louis CK has been known to be, it is a fascinating exercise in pretending Trump never happened.

| Aug 28, 2017

Few comedians have managed to dodge the dog-caught-the-car problem of successful stand-ups as smoothly as C.K. has. Look no further than his latest special, Netflix's 2017, for proof.

| Aug 15, 2017

A lot of this material is hilarious, but it's hard not to be struck by how dire much of it is.

| Apr 5, 2017

It's an impressive return-and a further indication that the hour-long comedy special is an art form with plenty of life left in it.

| Apr 5, 2017

Once again, Louis C. K. sets up two sides, then finds comedy in the in-between.

| Apr 4, 2017

If Louis CK 2017 is what we get in exchange for his work in so many other venues, than that's an excellent trade-off. There's more magic in that mic than we realize.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 4, 2017

We get a very brilliant stand-up doing a perfectly fine hour of comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2017

Louis C.K. demonstrates what lifts him above so many other performers: An honesty he can bend into jokes that provoke laughter while also, perhaps, tapping into ideas and feelings his listeners may recognize in themselves.
