Here’s Louis CK talking to CTV’s Richard Crouse about why he kills off his entire routine and starts fresh once a year and why other comics should too at Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival.
For more of our coverage of Just for Laughs, including more from this conversation as well as excerpts from Andy Kindler’s keynote and the Showrunners panel, click here.
1) The man who found the end of the universe between two Starbucks, will find it again on Twitter; please follow @theLewisBlack. [via Laughspin]
2) You’ve probably already seen this, but Dane Cook, who makes way more money than Louis C.K. ever has, will be on Louie (Thurs. FX 10:30PM) this week, a program that will be infinitely more respected than anything Cook does, which begs the question, “Really, America?”
3) LA Weekly on the Tomorrow Show and its 6th Anniversary.

11) I tried to get into the Moth Storyslam last night, but couldn’t because 300 people who paid $8 to get in beat me to Zanzibar Live in Santa Monica last night. That’s 300 people who paid money to hear stories that may or may not be good by people they’ve most likely never heard of. Why can’t people be excited for comedy like this?
