It's been nearly 10 months since Louis C.K. admitted to sexual misconduct, and the comedian appears to be readying for a return to the spotlight.
The "Louie" creator performed a surprise, 15-minute stand-up set at the Comedy Cellar in Manhattan on Sunday, club owner Noam Dworman told the New York Times.
According to Dworman, C.K. didn't touch on the scandal during his set, instead focusing primarily on topics such as racism, waitresses' tips and parades.
Five women spoke to the New York Times last November and accused C.K. of masturbating _ or asking to _ in front of them, rumors of which had circled the comedy scene for years.
C.K. quickly released a lengthy statement admitting to the women's accusations, saying, in part, "These stories are true."
The blowback for C.K. was immediate, with HBO, Netflix, FX, his management company, his publicist and his booking agent all cutting ties with the comedian.
Film distributor the Orchard also declined to release C.K.'s "I Love You, Daddy," about a TV writer whose teenage daughter is seduced by an older, famous director.
