Louis CK mocked the survivors of the Parkland school shooting in the leaked audio of one of his comeback comedy sets.

The disgraced comedian has returned to stand-up following the revelation that he masturbated in front of or while on the phone to five women, after which he said he would step back and take a long time to listen.

However, his latest set has caused outrage after he appeared to poke fu

n at the survivors of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 students and teachers were killed in February.

In leaked audio from a set at the Governors Comedy Club in New York on 16 December, Louis, 51, is heard complaining about the younger generation, saying: Im a little disappointed in the younger generation, honestly, because Im 51 years old, and when I was like, 18 to my twenties, we were idiots. We are out getting high, doing mushrooms and shit, and then older people were like “youve got to get your shit together”, and we were like “fuck you”.

Turning his attention to kids nowadays, he continued: Theyre just boring. Telling “you shouldnt say that”, what are you, an old lady? “Thats not appropriate.” Fuck you, youre a child.

Theyre like royalty, they tell you what to call them. “You should address me as they/them because I identify as gender neutral.” OK. You should address me as “there”, because I identify as a location, and the location is your mothers c***.

Louis then said: I dont know. They testified in front of Congress, these kids. Like, what the fuck? What are you doing? Youre young. You should be crazy. You should be unhinged, not in a suit saying, “Im here to tell”… fuck you.

Youre not interesting cause you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? How does that make you interesting? You didnt get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I got to listen to you talk?

Louis appeared to be targeting Emma Gonzalez, 19, and David Hogg, 18, who have become prominent activists for gun reform after the horrific shooting at their school.

A video of CKs set has been pulled from YouTube, although a two minute cut from the set is still circulating on social media.

Louis made his return to comedy in August, when he was greeted with a standing ovation at a New York comedy club.

In recent sets, he has joked about losing $35 million in an hour after admitting to allegations of sexual misconduct.

After the New York Times reported the allegations from the five women, Louis issued a statement reading: These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was OK because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isnt a question. Its a predicament for them.

The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And Ive tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now Im aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.

I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didnt want to hear it. I didnt think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.
