In an open letter emailed to fans, comedian Louis C.K. confirmed that Sunday night's show at the City Center would be forced to be rescheduled to March 2, 2013 due to Hurricane Sandy.

"I thought about this very carefully and I really started to worry about making 4300 people come into midtown manhattan on Sunday night, which is just when the stormatron 5000 is supposed to crush our empire," C.K. wrote in the letter that was republished on his blog. " I know that a lot of people are excited to come and they are fine with taking the chance but I really don't want a pole to smash your face in because you saw some comedy."

C.K. added that the show had been rescheduled for March 2nd, and that all tickets to last night's show would be honored, "same seat, same everything. If you can't come on that night, we will either do another show soon after that, or find another show for you in the area in the future. Or you still have the option to get a full refund for your ticket. If you already asked for a refund, we can reinstate your ticket if you want to go to one of those shows."

The thoughtful entertainer went on to say, "Listen. I know that probably it's going to be a starry clear night and the trains are going to be just gliding up and down the traks and a baby zebra is going to whinny as he trots by the City Center on a night that is going to break records for being placid and perfect for a night of comedy. And I'm going to feel like an asshole. And I know that some people had their plans set and are going to be pissed off at me. I know. but I also know that some of you are struggling with whether to come in or miss the show and this is the closest I can get to a solution. You don't have to take a chance and you don't have to miss the show. Just come see me in a few months.

If it's any consolation, I'm eating a pretty staggering fee for cancelling the show. But I can take it. What I can't take is the thought that there's a CHANCE 4300 people will be in danger trying to get home from my stupid show."

Louis C.K., now in the middle of a national stand-up tour, is best known for his Emmy-winning comedy on FX, LOUIE, in which he writes, stars, and directs. C.K. is also set for an upcoming, untitled Woody Allen film. C.K. also served as an animated short writer on SNL from 1997-2007.
