I love stand up comedy, i have watched many TV specials, and Louis C. K is my favorite stand up comedian. I really like Bill Burr, Ricky Jervais, George Carlin, Dylan Moran etc, however this guy makes me laugh like no other.
This is not his best work. Actually, this is less good than every other tv special of his. I don't use the word "worse" because i want to emphasize that this is still a very good show. But still, it's less good even than "Louis C. K. 2017". (Up until now, this was my less favorite show.)
Louis seems tired, he doesn't have his former energy. At times, he seems more weird than funny. Something feels off. He was always a dark cynical in disguise, but in order for a show to be good, you've got to balance your cynicism with charm. Otherwise, your stand up comedy will look bitter and sad instead of edgy/provocative.
Louis CK made a glorious comeback with SINCERELY (2020). One of his best shows in years. SORRY(2021) was not as good but still better than the majority of stand up comedies nowadays. Louis must take his time and return to form.
That doesn't mean this show ain't no good. Still I had tears of laughter watching it.

7.6/10. Recommended but..
Solid enough
I always remember really enjoying Louis CK back in the 2013 days, and watching loads of his specials back then. Since his "cancellation" he obviously disappeared for awhile and this is my first time seeing him again outside of the Theo Von and the Shane Gillis podcasts.
The jokes are my kind of humour and a lot of them did make me laugh. The whole reading the bible part is wet close to being stolen from Ricky Gervais which if you know anything about comedians is a real NoNo.
For me Louis does comes across like the American Ricky Gervais and while I prefer and relate to Ricky's stand up more, Louis is still very funny and it's nice to see him back doing what he does best, well second best if his right hand has anything to say.
Overall a decently funny stand up set by a very good comedian that I really enjoyed watching.
Very funny. Not his best.
Louis CK is probably my favorite stand-up comedian. I was lucky enough to see him live 10 years ago, which was fantastic. Since he was "cancelled" for a while, I was excited to see him back in action.
While this wasn't his best work, it was still better than the vast majority of specials from other comedians. This special definitely delivered CK's signature style of humor - smart yet unpretentious, dark, often gross and possibly insulting (in the best way!) but the pace was a bit slower. The stories and jokes were slightly longer and the punchlines were spread a little further apart than in his older specials. It was funny, for sure, but I personally felt he could have worked more material into the allotted time.
