Louis CK is back again to bring some laughter in the crowd. The comedian released 'Sincerely Louis CK' on his website and hoped it would be a relief and dose of laughter for everyone who was struggling to stay put during the quarantine. The comedian was accused by five women of sexual misconduct, which came to light in 2017. 

When he was asked about this in 2016, he had reported that these accusations were false. However, when a detailed report of the allegation was published the next year, his statement changed as he came forward and admitted his mistake. Louis made sure to talk about his sexual misconduct in his comedy special as well. 

He tried to make light of the situation by engaging in a conversation with a room full of people. "How was your last couple of years? How was 2018 and 2019 for you guys? Anybody else get in global amounts of trouble?” he asks in his special. 

“I learned a lot. I learned how to eat alone in a restaurant with people giving me the finger from across the room," he stated, as reported by Vulture. Louis also explained why he chose to go on international tours as he stated, “I thought I should leave the nation. I thought it was a good idea. Would have left the planet if they had another one of those."

He also explains what consent means as he says, "If you want to do it with someone else, you need to ask first. But if they say yes, you still don’t get to go ‘Woo!’ and charge ahead. You need to check in often, I guess that’s what I’d say. It’s not always clear how people feel. Men are taught to make sure the woman is okay. The thing is women know how to seem okay when they’re not okay.”

Many fans appreciated the comeback that the comedian had. "I VERY rarely tweet- @louisck. You came out swinging! I appreciate a good comeback. Well done sir," read one comment. Another added, "With all that being said go watch Louis CK’s new special. It’s $7.99 on his website and it’s totally worth it. I support Louis because he is only one out there who has been honest from the start and he continues to keep us laughing when his life has been turned upside down."

Another fan echoed similar thought and wrote, "The Louis CK special is what we need in these dark times." Despite the allegations, it seems like Louis has managed to keep his fans intact and make a big comeback.
