The “Louie” star also acknowledged that COVID-19 is still going on around the world and said he would see how things are going, but hopes to do every show that he can.
“Our intention is to do every show we can do,” the stand-up comedian explained. “We will comply with the local governments of each city in terms of health standards and practices. Like everyone else, we will just do our best under the circumstances.”
“I’m really looking forward to seeing your faces as I tell some rather impolite jokes and stories,” he added.
The tour will kick off next week with two nights at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theatre in New York City and includes more than 50 shows across the country in places like San Diego, Philadelphia and Detroit among others. He also promised for a European tour to follow, the outlet noted.
C.K.’s career almost ended in 2017 during the #MeToo movement after he admitted to a variety of sexual misconduct claims and disappeared from the spotlight. In 2019, reports surfaced he had been making appearances at small stand-up gigs. He had also announced plans to go back out on tour in 2020, but it was canceled due to the pandemic.
