Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater
“Buy The Thing”
Recorded November 10th, 2011 as part of the New York Comedy Festival, and only available for purchase online, Louis C.K. follows up his 2010 concert film Hilarious with a new hour’s worth of shrewdly observed and periodically profane material. He starts with making his own kind of please-turn-off-your-cell-phone announcement, as well as a warning not to text or tweet during the show: “Just live your life,” he asks. Whether he’s talking about a unique way to drop a rental car off at an airport or describing why a man in his 40s should not smoke dope, it’s terrific, humane, carried-to-crazed-extremes stuff.
A masterclass in observational humor, this special feels like a late-night chat with a brutally honest, yet surprisingly humane, friend. It's raw, profane, and hilariously dissects the absurdities of everyday life and the human condition.
