Louis C.K. (born September 12, 1967 in New York City) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actor, producer and director.

His credits as a writer include Saturday Night Live, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and the Chris Rock Show. He wrote and directed the movie, Pootie Tang, based on a sketch from the latter. He was nominated for an Emmy Award 3 times for the Chris Rock Show and won an Emmy in 1999 for Best Writing in a Variety or Comedy Series.

As a voice actor he portrayed Brendon's estranged father, Andrew Small, in Home Movies, and appeared numerous times on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.

He has performed his stand-up frequently on shows like Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Most recently his subject matter reflected his frustrations and anxieties from raising his two year old daughter.

In August 2005, he had a half-hour HBO stand-up special as part of the stand-up series One Night Stand.

Louis is currently working on his own sitcom, entitled "Lucky Louie" for HBO which is slated for twelve episodes (13 including pilot) in its first season. The show, filmed in front of a live studio audience (a first for HBO), is described as a realistic portrayal of family life, referred to by some as Everybody Loves Raymond with swearing.
