Louis CK has announced two New Zealand dates as part of an Australasian tour in November.
The US comedian, who has admitted to several instances of sexual misconduct, will perform at Auckland's Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre on Saturday, November 19 and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre on Tuesday, November 22.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale from Thursday at 9am before general sales start on Friday at 11am.
A note about the shows on the Ticketmaster website warns those in attendance must store away mobiles, smart watches, smart accessories, cameras and recording devices, or risk being asked to leave.
US comedian Chris Rock also imposed similar conditions on his recent tour of Aotearoa, with phones being locked in wallets that could only be unsealed after the show had finished.
There's also a warning that all jokes in the Louis CK shows must not be reproduced outside of the venue.
"Louis CK owns all rights in the content and materials, including any jokes and sketches (the "Materials"), delivered during his performance. The Materials may not be copied, translated, transmitted, displayed, distributed, or reproduced verbatim (the "Use"), in whole or in part, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, without the express prior written consent of Louis CK," the lengthy legal disclaimer states.
In 2017, Louis CK was accused of sexual misconduct by five different women in a New York Times article.
The award-winning comedian is said to have exposed himself in front of two female comedians in 2002, masturbated while speaking to a female comedian over the phone in 2003 and asked to masturbate in front of another comedian, who declined, in 2005.
A fifth woman, who didn't want to be identified, said he repeatedly asked if he could masturbate in front of her in the 1990s.
Louis CK has not denied the allegations, saying in a statement in 2017 "these stories are true" and "there is nothing about this that I forgive myself for".
He later wrote to one of the women, saying: "That was a bad time in my life and I'm sorry. I remember thinking what a repulsive person I was being by responding the way that I did."
