Louis CK is bringing stand-up comedy to 6 cities with his upcoming spring tour

Louis C.K. hasn’t left stand-up behind. The comedian of all trades has decided to take his show on the road, and announced spring tour dates Tuesday, according to Variety. He currently has 13 upcoming shows listed on his website, running from May 17 to June 9 and spanning six cities.

The first show will be in Baltimore, and he’ll later make stops in Asbury Park, New Jersey; Mashantucket, Connecticut; Chicago; and Wilkes-Barre and Reading, Pennsylvania. Beyond that, he has more tour plans in the works. He promised fans in his email newsletter that summer and fall dates will be announced next week, with stops including additional U.S. cities and Europe.

“I’ve been working on this particular stand-up material for a long time and I’m excited to bring it to you on all these various stages,” wrote C.K.

The news is particularly welcome, as C.K. told The Hollywood Reporter‘s Scott Feinberg that his FX series, Louie, may actually be over rather than on hiatus. Although it hasn’t officially been canceled, the comedian revealed that he doesn’t think he still has stories for his character on the autobiographical show. Strange as that sounds, it makes sense: C.K. is far from his days as a struggling comic.

“(FX Network President and General Manager) John Landgraf and I have always thought … it may come back with a different set of stories from a different angle a little further down the road,” said C.K., leaving some hope for Louie alive. “And I don’t know where that’s from yet, so it just depends on if it writes.”

It’s a comfort to know that, whatever that fate of Louie, we can expect more from C.K. He’s busy with projects like Better Things and Baskets for FX, One Mississippi for Amazon, and Horace and Pete, a self-financed and self-distributed series.  The tour may also serve as a good promotional opportunity for the latter. The comedian admitted last month that the project was millions of dollars in the negative, and C.K. was hoping the webisodes would pay for themselves by summer. Perhaps, with a little help from his tour, they will.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 gets a visual upgrade but stays wonderfully familiar
THPS 3 + 4

The year was 2001, and I was flat on my back in the middle of the street after bailing hard from a failed ollie.

Once I dusted myself off, I decided to try again, but in a safer, more digital aspect. Two decades ago, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 devoured my free time, and now the remake is back and doing the exact same thing. An excellent remake, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 brings two classic titles to a modern audience but adds little to the original experience in a way that leaves the game feeling curiously anachronistic.

Superman review: DC is back and better than ever!
Superman review: The Man of Steel soars to new heights
Superman readies to fight in Superman.

The new DC Universe made its theatrical debut with the release of James Gunn's Superman. Set three years after he revealed himself to the world as Superman, the film follows Clark Kent (David Corenswet) when he struggles to face threats at home and abroad and come to terms with his Kryptonian heritage, all while Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) tries to turn the public against him with a global conspiracy.

Starting right in the middle of the action, Superman kicks off the DCU with a thrilling blockbuster adventure filled with action, humor, heart, and life. It is easy to forgive the excessive expositional dialogue when the film delivers an exciting and thought-provoking tale that stays true to the comics while putting a new spin on the Man of Steel.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this July 2025, stream this one
The cast of Saving Mr. Banks

Unlike most streaming services, the movies available on Disney+ tend to conform to a fairly standard mold. You've got a lot of big franchise films and a lot of movies aimed at children, and not a whole lot in between.

If you're looking for something a little more robust, or at least aimed at adults, you might want to check out Saving Mr. Banks. The movie tells the story of Walt Disney's quest to adapt Mary Poppins and his various attempts to woo the author of the book series it's based on, P.L. Travers. While the film is undeniably a little hagiographic, here are three reasons you should check it out.
