When Louis C.K.'s HILARIOUS premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last January, he told Quint that this was his attempt to bring back the big-screen concert film ala RICHARD PRYOR: LIVE IN CONCERT, BILL COSBY: HIMSELF or EDDIE MURPHY RAW. The idea was to get the movie some kind of a theatrical release before heading off to DVD, On Demand, and so on. As a fan of stand-up movies (I even paid to see RUNTELDAT), I would've gladly forked over full admission to watch one of the funniest stand-up comics alive work over an audience for eighty minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the sole L.A. screening of the film, so I guess I'll just have to watch it on Epix. For free. If this sounds good to you (and it should unless you hate laughing), head over to Epix, give 'em your email, and fire up HILARIOUS. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but seeing as how C.K. has never let me down (not with POOTIE TANG, not with LUCKY LOUIE and certainly not with his brilliant, just-renewed FX series LOUIE), I'm going to highly recommend you check it out. And be sure to check out all of Louis C.K.'s previous stand-up specials. They're all phenomenal.
