Louis C.K. — father of two, voice of a generation, noted overeater — was honored by storytelling organization The Moth earlier this week. Alone, without knowing any Russian, Louie wandered around the frozen streets of Moscow (because obviously he went in December), experiencing the worst poverty he’d ever seen. After witnessing an encounter in the subway with a roving band of out-of-work children, Louis summed up his experience: “This is why I came here: to find out how bad life gets. And that when it gets this bad, it’s still bleeping funny.”
