Comedian Louis Katz is a true Bay Area treasure.

Even though he is originally from L.A. and now lives in New York, Louis started his stand-up career right here in the Bay before going on to land his own Comedy Central Presents special, numerous late night TV appearances, and most recently appearing on the Comedy Central story telling show This Is Not Happening.

Louis stopped by KFOG before what very well may be his last time headlining the Punch Line due to it’s impending closure and possible relocation.

Louis shares some of his favorite memories of cutting his teeth at “The Punch” including a hilarious story of a hidden communal bong, and goes in-depth about how he managed to straddle the line between comedy and tragedy in his hilarious and moving appearance on This is Not Happening.

Listen to the full interview below, check out his latest album KATZKILLS, and make sure you catch him while he is in town this weekend at the Punch Line.
