C.K. Returns to Los Angeles for Netflix Festival
In 2026, comedian Louis C.K. performed a headlining set at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the Netflix is a Joke comedy festival. The show served as the final stop of his worldwide "Ridiculous" tour.
C.K. did not address the 2017 sexual misconduct allegations, during which five women accused him of masturbating in front of them or on the phone with them—behavior he later admitted to, stating he believed it was appropriate because he had asked first.
Instead, his set focused heavily on sexual topics, including jokes about genitals, STDs, and pornography.
Setlist and Audience Response
C.K. discussed his dating life, stating he has a girlfriend and prefers dating women his own age. He commented that there is less sexual pressure with older women and questioned the legality of age-gap relationships.
The set concluded with a standing ovation. C.K. thanked Netflix for the opportunity.
Career Since the Allegations
Since the misconduct allegations, C.K. has gradually rebuilt his career. FX ended its partnership with him, he lost executive producer credits and representation, and his film I Love You, Daddy was dropped by its distributor.
He has since performed at larger venues worldwide and published a novel titled Ingram.
Upcoming Special
Netflix will premiere C.K.'s upcoming comedy special, "Ridiculous," which he directed and executive produced, later in 2026.
