A night with Louis C.K. in Boston

From top to bottom, left to right: view of the stage from our seats, me and Mr. Lee pre-show, Louis C.K. thanks to the zoom on the Canon S95 digicam.

The highlight this past weekend has to be the Louis C.K. show on Saturday night at Symphony Hall.

I'd been hearing about him for quite some time, but never thought to check out what he was about until I caught his stand-up show Chewed Up on Netflix. And I kicked myself for not finding out about him sooner because the man is hilarious!

His humor is self-deprecating and he finds those small, innocuos moments and horrible thoughts we've all experienced/had to get you hee-hawing away.

This particular show was no different -- I was rolling as much as I could given that I was still getting over my flu (nothing was going to stop me from seeing him ^_O). Mr. Lee and our New Yorker amigo were absolutely dying.

He ended the show on such a strong note -- even slipped in a joke about slavery and how the Chinese built the railroad. His total disgust for Boston / his hometown of Newton and how we all turn into horrible human beings when we're behind the wheel were my faves -- but from beginning, middle, to end it was a solid show.

And now, I'm downloading his other shows and trolling Youtube for anything and everything I can find like this Howard Stern interview he did back in 2006:
