Louis C.K., the king of observational and cringe comedy, is coming back to Chicago next month for two nights as part of a newly announced tour.

Tickets to his Oct. 4 and 5 shows at the Chicago Theatre and elsewhere are on sale now through his website, the comedian announced Tuesday morning. Standard ticket prices start at about $50 a pop. He'll also be heading the Madison, Wisconsin the following week if you miss him here.

Louis was just in town last June for a four-night run at the Chicago Theatre, and according to the Tribune, he killed it. The sold out run had no shortage of bits about marriage, aging, child-rearing, religion and other important stuff that can quickly take a dark turn, the paper said.

Here's a very unauthorized snippet from one of those June shows:
