Louis C.K., whose dark humor has propelled him to popularity, will be playing two shows at the Trump Taj on Saturday, Sept. 1, 2012. Show times are at 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $55 and $45. Tickets can be obtained by either calling Ticketmaster at 800-736-1420 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
Louis C.K.’s current prominence is hardly the result of an overnight success. He first took the stage in 1984 at an open-mic in Boston, but he was so discouraged by the experience he didn’t perform again for two years, according to a press release.
He worked in Boston and then New York and landed TV appearances until 1996 when HBO released his first half-hour comedy special.
C.K. is known for a dogged work ethic and in recent years he has released hour-long TV specials, a concert film and appears in his own comedy series on FX.

Most Louis C.K. performances throughout the fall and new year are being ticketed directly by Louis C.K. as part of his effort to offer what he thinks is a fair and consistent price to his fans. See here: https://buy.louisck.net/news
This would seem to be a rare exception in that Ticketmaster is handling these shows.
