NEW YORK, May 10 (UPI) — Louis C.K. will embark on a brief U.S. comedy tour this summer.

The stand-up comedian will start off the tour in Baltimore, Md. on May 17 and hit such cities as Asbury Park, N.J., Mashantucket, Conn. and Chicago Ill. among a handful of others.

C.K. will spend two nights in Baltimore for three shows before heading to New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois and Pennsylvania. He hasn’t done any officially scheduled stand-up performances since early 2015, when he sold out New York’s Madison Square Garden three times.

The “Louie” star recently revealed he wasn’t sure if he had any “more stories” for his character on the famed sitcom.

Speaking to Hollywood Reporter in a podcast, the New York-based comedian communicated uncertainty regarding the future of “Louie” since the Season 5 finale aired in May of last year.

“But the show is autobiographical, so what [FX president and general manager] John Landgraf and I have always thought is that it may come back with a different set of stories from a different angle a little further down the road,” he said.

“And I don’t know where that’s from yet, so it just depends on if it writes. I think, for me, if I’m on TV again doing a single-camera show, it’s “Louie.” But I don’t know. I have no idea. I needed to not know if I’d ever do it again — I needed to feel that way — so that’s the way I feel right now.”
