Louis C.K. has started making jokes about his masturbation scandal, according to Page Six. The comedian told an audience at the West Side Comedy Club in Manhattan, “I lost $35 million in an hour.”
One person in the audience told LaughSpin that C.K. said “he’s been to hell and back.”
“He was so genuine and reflected on how weird his year was,” said LaughSpin host AMarie Castillo, according to Page Six. “Tried out some new dark and dirty material.”
Last year, C.K., 51, confessed to masturbating in front of several women without their consent. He has been slowly reappearing on the comedy scene, including a few surprise shows at the Comedy Cellar and Caroline’s. His “comeback” has received mixed reactions.
@louisck has been to hell and back… poor guy!! If he had asked us we could have suggested he save himself a trip and stay in the flames. Fuck you dude. Sounds hellish for the girls you locked in rooms making them watch you masturbate. You “apologized” barely a year ago. STFU pic.twitter.com/FCAnRbSDvK

I don’t get it, so people forgave XXX who is a proven domestic abuser, like beat to a bloody pulp level, but went bat shit when Kavanaugh got sworn in even though his case wasn’t proved. Cried out when Louis CK performed again. I don’t get it
