Louis C.K.: Chewed Up (2008 TV Special)
5/10
Weaker than Louis C.K.'s other stand-ups, but still noteworthy
4 September 2014
The main topics of this show are curse words, being fat, children and sex. He wraps up these topics in hilarious stories like he always does and he isn't afraid to talk about controversial subjects. But that's about it. I feel like these are all random topics that Louis had something to say about thrown together to make a funny show. There were no real transition between his stories and there was no criticism on society, which is what I love about Louis' other stand-ups.

I love Louis' delivery and he really knows how to keep a crowd going. He isn't afraid to talk for a long time without any laughs, just to set up a joke. On a comedy level this is a hilarious show, but what I am missing is a hidden meaning, a message, something that connects his stories and makes them a complete show.

With "Louis C.K.: Chewed Up" being Louis C.K.'s second one-hour stand-up show, I have to say I liked his first one, "Louis C.K.: Shameless", better, but this is still an excellent sample into Louis' comedy.
