Disgraced comedian returns to mainstream after admitting to sexual misconduct

Comedian Louis C.K., who was accused of and admitted to sexual harassment, was slated to get a second chance at one of the world's most iconic venues.

Netflix said Thursday that the comedian would headline the streaming giant's "Netflix Is A Joke" festival on May 5 at the Hollywood Bowl, The Daily Beast reported.

Netflix also plans to release his stand-up special "Ridiculous" — the first streamed comedy show since he stepped out of the spotlight in 2017 following multiple allegations of sexual harassment amid the #MeToo movement.

He told CBS that the accusations against him "were true," including those from five separate women that he performed a sex act on himself in front of them without their consent. He said he planned to "step back and take a long time to listen" and has tried to launch a comeback several times.
