Fellow comedians hit out at Louis CK’s stand-up return

Louis CK has performed stand-up comedy for the first time since he admitted last year to several instances of sexual misconduct.

In November 2017, the month after the #MeToo campaign against sexual harassment began, the comedian released a statement confirming allegations made against him by five women were true.

“There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for,” he said and added he could hardly wrap his head around the “scope of hurt” he has caused.

On Sunday night Louis CK made an an unannounced appearance at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, New York. He did not make reference to his past behaviour.

Instead his set consisted of “typical Louis CK stuff,” including racism, waitresses’ tips and parades, Noam Dworman, owner of the venue, told the New York Times.

According to Mr Dworman, the comic was given a warm greeting by the audience when he took to the stage.
