SHECKYmagazine.com was quoted in the New York Times article on Louis C.K., (not Calvin Klein). Peter Keepnews interviewed C.K. on the occasion of his show tomorrow night at the North Fork Theater in Westbury, N.Y., and his recent sold out Town Hall appearance during last week's New York Comedy Festival.

So while America may not be entirely comfortable inviting Louis C. K. into its living room every week (although he is developing a new sitcom for network TV), he has built a following.

"Though not a mainstream success in the traditional sense," the veteran comedian Brian McKim, an astute observer of the comedy scene on the Web site sheckymagazine.com, said in an e-mail message, "he is a recognizable performer with a track record and a résumé that most comics would be ecstatic to have," who has made a mark without "softening his message or delivery or persona."

Which is good enough for Louis C. K. "I'm about as famous as I want to be," he said. "I get recognized a lot, and it's only by people who like me. Once you get really big, people recognize you who hate you. I don't want that."

That's us-- "The New York Times calls SHECKYmagazine, 'astute observers of the comedy scene!'" Quotes available 24/7!
