Louis CK discussing his approach to Stand-Up Comedy.

[@tristramcoffin926]

The same is good advice for musicians. I remember a buddy of mine's father would say write and play an album's worth of material. Practice it until you are sick of half of the songs. Write another album worth of songs. Practice the album and a half worth of remaining songs until you are sick of half of them. You repeat that process about 3 or 4 times and you should have a pretty good album.

love this. Much respect.!!! The difference nowdays huh? With every Tom, Dick and Raheem itching to post the first draft of some godforsaken "single"

[@tgazza1587]

Open with the closer is a great piece of advice for life in general

[@AZ-123]

In my opinion, Louie is the G.O.A.T

[@HotBreathPod]

Agreed! I can't even choose which special is my favorite. Possibly 2017?

[@AZ-123]

@@HotBreathPod Impossible to choose, my guy. All his specials actually feel "special" and 2017 was amazing, definitely the best special in recent memory for me.

Agree

Carlin, Louie, and Stanhope. Stanhope is so underappreciated it's a fucking crime.

Louie C.K. was the "Rookie of the Year" in Boston comedy in the late 80s.

I love this video!

Forgive Louis. Picasso drove women to commit suicide and we still hold him in regard and buy his art. Wtf? Forgive Louis

[@IncredibleIceCastle]

We don’t have to forgive him but we don’t have to cancel his career either, it’s not like he’s a rapist he just did some creepy unadvisable shit

[@gabrielvalencia1287]

He a good boi

There's nothing to forgive, tho. Just uncancel him :(

Nothing on the internet yet, act going good, building a set, lately I've been listing 2 Patrice O'neal, but I also like Dave Chappelle, Pryor, Carlin, Louie as inspirations, although I do enjoy others they're the acts that get me amped. That's who comes 2 at the moment. Hbu?

[@danielhornbeck6588]

This requires the creator to be 100% objective about what's working and what isn't. Not what you like, or wish would work, or whatever other delusions and time-wasters. You should be able to make quick, unapologetic decisions about what to cut, which (for most people) will be most of what you create. If you never quit, and ONLY accept what is great, then there's no way you can fail. Obviously this also requires constant attempts and "failures". If you're honest with yourself, and are willing to drop the useless stuff, then YOU have not failed. This applies to any endeavor. But you have to REALLY want to get good. Most people simply don't have what it takes to fulfill this simple formula. This is why "talent" and "genius" are overrated, overused, and unnecessary concepts.

[@Mark-sx3rf]

Starting with tye closer is great and all, but i went to see Louie about 3 years ago. He walked on stage, told a whopper of a joke, said goodnight and walked off stage!

[@tamaratonyor]

BEAST!!!

[@boredmoroccan2401]

Genius.

[@abrahamdrinkin2534]

And to think all of this was spurred by Louis hearing George Carlin say every year he throws out that material and starts over next year.
