Louis C.K. Reveals Initial 2016 Tour Schedule

“Usually I have a year where I’m splitting touring with shooting something, but this year I just want to do stand-up; I think that’s when I’m best at it, is when I’m not competing with other things,” the comedian told “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. “I don’t know where I’m going but it’s pretty much everywhere – the whole country and Europe, some other stuff.”

He added that he had such a good time playing Madison Square Garden last year that he’s going to do some more “big gigs” along with theatres.

This is how the initial routing stands today:

May 17 – Baltimore, Md., Modell Performing Arts Center At The Lyric (early & late shows)

May 19 – Asbury Park, N.J., Paramount Theatre
