Kevin Brennan said that Louis's special was planned to be taped at the Boston show in April

I don't know if this has been said already, but I remember reading speculation here that he would tape the Boston show for his special. Kevin Brennan said on ep 179 of his podcast that he opened for louie last minute in DC, and recorded there since he thought shit would hit the fan before the Boston shows took place. Seems kind of obvious now, but thought it was cool to see confirmed.

I thought Boston was going to be the place for the special too, based on it being his hometown and the fact he hadn't done shows there in a while.

Man... fuck COVID-19. I was so excited to go to this show! And I fully expected it would be filmed over the course of the 2 nights. It was a nice consolation that he released the special for download the night the 2nd Boston show would have happened.

Thankfully he’s independent and could just make this decision last minute on his own. I’m sure a lot of people lost a lot of money because they couldn’t make unilateral decisions like this in such unprecedented times.

Exactly, if he couldn't or didn't record in time it might have been a very long time until it came out, if at all.

I felt that watching it. It’s a great show regardless. But seeing it twice I could tell it wasn’t even his best! Thank God he saw it coming and released it anyway! I know how hard it is as a performer to put out something that isn’t your best show. You can be so critical knowing what it could be. But like I said it’s a great performance and I got to hear new stuff and I can’t wait to rewatch it again! Trying to pace myself!

This was just confirmed by Joe Rogan on his podcast with Chris D'Elia. Joe was supposed to be there in Boston. Louis decided to film earlier due to Corona.

The retarded bit would have been 10 times greater in Boston

Too bad it didn't happen

Thats very smart of him, and actually shows how much he really wanted it out which is awesome of him. But that really fucking sucks cause this would have been epic in Boston.
