Louis C.K. Funnier Than Ever | Arts & Entertainment | Atlantic City ...

Luck has nothing to do with comic-actor-writer Louis C.K.?s ever-evolving success ?

During the spring of 2006, three months before Lucky Louie premiered on HBO, it was obvious that Louis C.K. was on his way to becoming the hardest working man in show business.?

While sitting with the energetic comic for lunch in Manhattan, he offered considerable details about his then forthcoming show. He had his hand in everything, including set design. While waxing about the show?s minutia, C.K. would then talk about his stand-up, which was constantly morphing. ?

Between his work, marriage and two daughters, which helped fuel his comedic fire, you couldn?t help but wonder when he slept. ?

Even though Lucky Louie didn?t last more than a season (HBO should have given the uneven show a longer look), all the work paid off. ?

At the time, C.K. was a relatively obscure comic with a bright future.?

These days, C.K. has realized his potential. He has hit with the amusing Louie, which has been renewed for a fourth season by FX. C.K. plays a fictionalized version of himself, a divorced dad with two daughters living in New York City. The structure of the show, which he writes, directs and edits, is loose and the comedy is black and often surprising.?

?It isn?t easy managing all of this, but it?s what I do,? C.K. tells Atlantic City Weekly. ?The pressure of pulling this all off doesn?t bother me. I?ve always been good with pressure. I love having all of the work, the challenge.??

Part of what makes C.K.?s humor work so well is that it?s based on reality. His initial HBO special, One Night Stand, which aired in 2005, foreshadowed C.K.?s future of being at the head of the stand-up class along with the brilliant Demetri Martin.?

C.K. cracked the house up as the beleaguered parent, who was clobbered by marriage. When C.K. would reveal that his then wife tongue-lashed him for not running the dishwasher, he noted that he simply forgot to press the start button ? who hasn?t been there??
