    man, I think that's the quality I admire the most in Louie, dude makes the mundane sound other-wordly fascinating

    I cry at concerts for the same reason. Group of people there to share an experience, all that consciousness pointed in the same direction, and the artists that put all the time and sincerity into making something special. People creating magic out of thin air right in front of you.

    i know exactly what he's talking about. i get the same feeling every time at the movies, no matter what the movie is. it's the environment and the experience of everyone around you. it's knowing that you're partaking in the magic and witnessing this beautiful moment. i always tear up.

    And then he basically makes and produces a play with Horace and Pete.

    I feel this way about comedy. It's the vulnerability. The first comic comes on stage and it's like a texas shootout. You both know what's about to go down and there's a lot to lose, but also a lot to gain. But like Louis says more than anything everybody agrees that hey there's something we want to see right here. This does not happen in many other places, not so viscerally.

    It is interesting to watch how he had to explain to an entertainment culture that theater plays is a killer.

    I think he is joking. that's a very comedian thing to do is to see a guy like Rose read something you said as a bit and then keep up the bit as if you were serious.

      @@PhillSutton this is very much in line with his absurdist humor. Imagine a scene from his FX show where he walks into a Broadway show, the show only starts and every one is silently watching. All of a sudden you hear Louie loudly, uncontrollably sobbing. Everyone turns and stares at him etc
      I'm not Louie so I'm sure he could do this scene better but you get the point. It seems very much in line with being the sort of bit he'd do

      All that being said, it mostly certainly can be based in real emotion as many bits are. But I doubt he starts uncontrollably sobbing at the start of every play. He prob just feels melancholy
