Then go give him money right now, he has all shows on his site at $5, an exceptionally reasonable price for quality stand-up, and no middle-man business.. I've bought everything on that site. Also, you should really get the Tig Notaro thing he sold for a while but doesnt sell any more. www.louisck.net

Hi Lucky, this video went number one, but Siftbot never recognized it as a number one video. I'm hoping you can fix it?

I was extremely confused for the first minute, even Wiki'd Tig Notaro, until I realised I had heard "vasectomy" and not "mastectomy".

Because he built his success on being honest and he isn't going to let social norms get in the way of sticking to that, personally I find it a breathe of fresh air. He is already helping her out tremendously with exposure, there is no need for him to feel obliged to completely foot the bill for it, this isn't a charity, it is an act of personal compassion.
20% also seems like a lot but only because it is relative to the cheap price of $5. If they charged $10, Louis would still of kept only $1, as he is not taking the money for profit. He also says "I'm" but this really means, the people who help me run my business and who I need to pay will require that $1 to keep getting paid.

That's cool and moving.
...One question: In the description / message from Louis CK I read "The show is on sale for the same 5 dollars I charge for my stuff. I'm only keeping 1. She gets the other 4."
Obviously I don't know the full story, but that strikes me as a bit off. Why not give all of it to Tig? Barring that, why not withhold any costs associated with hosting the files for download and/or manufacturing CDs or whatever and give Tig 100% of the rest? Or finally barring that, don't flat out say "1'm keeping $1 and she gets $4" -- at least weasel out of it with a generic "Tig gets most of the profits, and some will be donated to cancer research" or some such.
I guess what I'm saying is, I don't see Louis CK's involvement being worth 20% off the top. If she feels that it is worth it, that's cool -- but I'd prefer to be blissfully ignorant of it.



I think it's more than that, it's respect for a fellow comic. I listened to it again tonight and it's even better the second time. The honesty and the bald faced reality of it is simply beautiful. I just love it and I love that Louis recognized how great this was and put it out on his website. Louis is doing the right thing with that site and he deserves our support. Everyone should go to his show when it's in their town. I've got my ticket.

i think a dollar is perfectly reasonable. there is probably significant overhead in hosting a big file like that for (possibly) hundreds of thousands of people.

Oh, It's a woman.
I couldn't tell until she started speaking.
My bad....


You're doing it wrong, it's:
Ah! Them little titties, I thought you was a man.


On an unrelated note, when the video started I wasn't looking and when the dude said "Hello everyone" I though "WTF?! HuskyStarcraft?"... guess I was to many SC2 casts.
