Louis CK is returning to San Jose, California this week to perform new material.

The controversial comedian, who admitted last year to accusations of masturbating in front of multiple women, has been performing unnanounced shows around the United States for several months

CK currently has two dates at the San Jose Improv booked, on Wednesday 16 January and Thursday 17 January, with both having already sold out.

The ticket page says: ”Louis CK is trying some new material. XXX Adults only.”

CK recently caused further controversy after audio from a stand-up set recently leaked, revealing the disgraced comedian had made crude jokes about the survivors of the Parkland school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High.

“I’m a little disappointed in the younger generation,” CK jokes. “They’re just boring.... They testified in front of Congress, these kids. Like, what the f***? What are you doing? You’re young. You should be going crazy. You should be unhinged, not in a suit saying: ‘I’m here to tell...’ F*** you.

“You’re not interesting ‘cause you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? How does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I got to listen to you talk?”

CK also joked about “losing $35m in an hour” after admitting to allegations of sexual misconduct reported by The New York Times, in which he was accused by five women of masturbating in front of them or on the phone to them.

In a statement, the comic said: “These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was OK because I never showed a woman my d**k without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d**k isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.”
