Female comics clash over Louis C.K.’s return to standup

A panel of female comics at the Women in the World Summit had differing opinions on disgraced comic Louis C.K.’s comeback.

Cameron Esposito said, “You are a terrible person if you’re trying to get back in clubs this early . . . Could you at least give us a couple years to just have another person stand up and get a chance to talk?”

Judy Gold was more democratic.

“You cannot tell an artist not to do their work . . . If a comedy club is willing to have him, I believe in all freedom of speech, no matter what.”

Wanda Sykes, meanwhile, said it was up to audience reactions.

C.K. was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
