The hilarious, brilliant and sometimes painful to watch hit FX show "Louie" doesn't return until spring of 2014, but its star will be performing today at the Straz Center in Tampa.

And the Emmy winner is selling all tickets for the relatively "cheap" price of $45 directly to fans through louisck.com.

"You don't have to join anything and you don't have to hear from me again unless you want to," reads the statement on the comic's website. "Just cheap tickets to see me do an all new bunch of jokes."

Details: 7:30 and 10 p.m. Nov. 29, Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. MacInnes Place, Tampa. Tickets: $45. Information: 800-955-1045 or www.strazcenter.org. To buy tickets go to louisck.com.
