BREAKING: Louis CK coming to the Merriam Theater, 2/21

Louis CK is a really busy guy. As the first and only season of his HBO sitcom Lucky Louie came to a close, he was busy putting together a new set of stand-up comedy that would eventually become his one-hour HBO special Shameless. By the time that aired, he was touring again (performing at the Keswick in April) with another hour of material that eventually became Chewed Up, which was released on CD and DVD this week. And if you were smart enough to notice a pattern, he's getting ready for another tour: "The tour is called 'Louis CK: Hilarious' and it's a completely different hour of material than Chewed Up (or Shameless, my special from last year)." This time he'll be performing at the 1790-seat Merriam Theater in downtown Philadelphia:
