My comedy-fanatic friends in New York used to talk in hushed tones about Louis CK's stand up. Years later, I watched and loved his show, Lucky Louie. After that got cancelled, I watched his new show, Louie, and loved it even more.
(Meanwhile, I watched friends & family pass around his Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy. A great peek into the man.)
The looong interview below of Louis with his close friend, Marc Maron blows me away. On his first season of Louie, he wrote all the material from scratch; he directed and starred in the episodes; he edited them on his laptop; he knows how to fix the cameras-- he was involved in every facet from beginning to end.
Find some time to listen to this.
