Louis C.K.’s comeback comedy tour, his first since admitting to sexual misconduct in November 2017, kicked off in Virginia at the beginning of November and has reignited conversations about his history of masturbating in front of female comedians. Five comics accused C.K. of sexual misconduct in an article published by The New York Times. The comedian, best known at the time for his comedy specials and FX series “Louie,” admitted the allegations against him were true. C.K. regularly appeared at comedy clubs to perform stand-up sets over the last year, but his comeback reached a new level this month with his first official tour.
Comedian Julia Wolov is one of the five women who brought C.K.’s sexual misconduct to light in The Times’ article. Following the publication of a Canadian Jewish News op-ed in which Toronto comedy-club owner Mark Breslin explained why he booked C.K.
