But shortly afterwards we were asked not to publish it as it was felt it would give too much away in advance. Having now seen the second episode I think I can see why.

American comedy superstar Louis CK played a low-key club gig in London on Sunday night.
He popped into the Angel Comedy club/pub in Islington and reports say that after chatting to some of the acts on the bill did a 15-minute set at the end of the night. Needless to say he was phenomenal, according to a witness.
