Stand-up Comic Louis C.K. Postpones Kyiv Shows to 2021

The performances were originally scheduled for May 2020.

American stand-up comedian, screenwriter, producer, director and actor Louis C.K. will perform in Kyiv on May 11 and 12, 2021. The concerts have been postponed by a year due to the pandemic, with new dates announced on the comic's official website.

Viewers who bought tickets for this year's performances can use them next year. It is also possible to get a refund for the tickets.

"Hello, Kyiv! First of all, I want to thank you for buying tickets to my show. I really was looking forward to it. And I am very sorry that we cannot hold it in May of this year. But I am determined to make the show happen. So we decided to move the show to May 11 and 12, 2021, depending on how events unfold. If you keep your tickets, they will be valid for the new dates. But you can also get a refund" — the comic is quoted by the concert agency.

Louis C.K. is a six-time Emmy Award winner. He has also released more than eight feature-length documentary-comedy concert films.

In 2017, the comic found himself at the center of a scandal. Five women accused him of either masturbating in front of them or suggesting they watch him do so. All of the women's allegations were published in an exposé in The New York Times. 

After the scandal, the popular comic's career declined: he was removed from several projects, and his shows and author programmes stopped being broadcast. Although he made an official statement and apologized.
