louis ck cancels MSG show in very funny fashion.

Dear friend,

Hi. It's Louis CK here to make sure everyone knows that my show show tomorrow at Madison Square Garden has been canceled. All ticket holders will automatically get a refund. I am really sorry about this and I am surprised to learn as I write this that there is only one L in the word canceled. I'll have to take my phone's word for it. But it doesn't look right to me.

In any case, there seems to be a massive storm approaching New York City. They are calling this storm "historic" which.... Well I didn't know you could call a thing historic if it hasn't happened yet. But I'm not one to defy future historic events. And I have to be respectful of the responsibility I have to the 15,000 people who are holding tickets to the show and could be stranded somewhere historically trying to get to or from my show. I think it's clearly better that I alter history in the name of safety and cancel. Besides, if you've ever tried to get your deposit back when you rent a banquet hall for a wedding that gets snowed out, you don't want to even know what the deposit is on Madison Square Jesus Christing Garden is.

So. No show. I will be on Letterman tonight, though. So you can yell boo right at my stupid and very handsome face on your tv screen or on your paper towel or your watch or whatever you view Letterman on.

Also I will be contacting you very soon about my new standup special which will be historically available only on my website louisck.net very soon.

I really want to thank everyone who came to the shows at MSG. It was an incredible experience. The audiences were great. And the crew at MSG is classy and professional.

Okay. That's it. I have to do some laundry now. 

Take care of yourself and don't be a jerk to people.

Louis CK.

jicydak, comedienne tig notaro has been talked about a lot recently due to her now famous stand-up show back in august where she talked about the downward spiral her life had become after pneumonia turned into a terrible bacterial infection that almost killed her, her mother died, she and her gf broke up, and finally, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. read all about it here. louis ck tweeted that it was one of the few masterful stand-up performances he had witnessed.
