Louis CK Plays The ACC
Anyone who knows anything about the standup scene in 2017 knows that Louis CK is basically its king. CK’s sold-out show at The Air Canada Centre is one of the hottest tickets in town. While official ticks were bought out long ago, you can still scour the streets – and Craigslist – for scalpers. CK is the standup’s current luminary, and you know what they say? You really can’t put a price on laughter!
