    I heard they weren't allowed to curse, that killed it for me alone. True?

    This would rock. How long are their sets though? With that many is it just 5 minutes?

    It was great last year. Probably one of the best stand up shows. Yes they could cuss. Idk if I'm getting this year. Seen ever one that is coming to the Texas shows. Was hoping Burr and Attel were going to do Texas. It is worth it if you have never seen Louie though.

    Does anyone know if last year prices were the same? Looks like the first 3 sections are at least $300-$450?

    I went last year. Enjoyable, but I'd much rather just go to a comedy club.

    Only problem is that houston pretty much has no comedy clubs

    This hasn't been selling as well as planned. So it's on Groupon for $20

    http://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-oddball-comedy-festival-19


    $20 for general-admission lawn (up to $48.71 value) [limited tickets available at this price]
    $25 for general-admission lawn (up to $48.71 value)
    $45 for sections 104-105, 110-111 (front/mid), 106, or 109 (up to $75.92 value)

    Other cities have been selling much better than Houston. This is a really good deal and won't last.

    It was so pricey. It's my birthday that weekend and I was going to get my a good seat. So I pull up the covered sections. Anywhere close and they were charging $200-300. Ridiculous. The $108 ones were covered but way in back. So I passed.

    Same here. I thought Louis CK was all about affordable tickets.
