ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WXYZ) — Comedian Louis C.K. is going back on tour more than two years after allegations of sexual misconduct were brought against him.

According to his website, he will perform at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on Dec. 18 and Dec. 19.

He said he will be "on the road doing professional stand-up comedy. Which consists of sharing jokes, stories, observations, lies, non-lies, and being generally ridiculous for the benefit of a laughing audience."

The accusations were brought up to the New York Times in 2017. He admitted to masturbating or asking to masturbate in front of the women.

He started performing again at shows in smaller clubs in New York, and in 2018, was caught on an audio recording mocking the survivors of the Parkland school shooting.
