Louis CK's latest comedy special Louis CK: Ridiculous will stream on Netflix this summer. The comic wrote on his newsletter: "I am mucho happy about it."

He will also be headlining at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival on Tuesday, May 5th.

The show at the Hollywood Bowl will be the very last show of his world tour. He says it will likely be his last full-scale comedy headline type show "for a looong time."  

In 2017, Louis CK admitted to several incidents of sexual misconduct following the release of an article in The New York Times. Women who spoke out in the article included comedy duo Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov, who claimed that C.K. had invited them to his hotel room in 2002 during the US Comedy Arts Festival where he masturbated in front of them. This resulted in widespread criticism.

In response CK released a statement and apologised, saying "these stories are true" and that while he initially thought "it was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first", he went on to express remorse, stating, "the power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly."

In 2018, he returned to stand-up comedy, and in 2019, announced an international tour.[13][14] He has also released the specials Sincerely Louis C.K. (2020) and Sorry (2021) on his website, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for the former. C.K. also co-wrote and directed the film Fourth of July (2022).[15][16]
