Imagine wanting to be a comedian, but being so consciously out-of-touch with your audience and so fearful of criticism that not only must you keep your tour schedule completely secret so as not to tip off any potential hecklers, but you have to preemptively threaten your audience with a lawsuit if they ever tell anyone outside the club what you said during your set, so you can't even be critiqued after the fact. You have just imagined being Louis CK.
Louis CK intends to do a routine in Minneapolis on some undisclosed date this month, and has required the venue to publish a copyright notice forbidding anyone who is lucky - or unlucky - enough to happen to attend the club on the night of the secret performance from repeating "any content....including jokes or sketches" "in whole or in part" in any form without permission - which, it goes without saying, isn't going to be given. No other comedian is known to have requirements like these, as most tend to actually want audience members to enjoy and share their jokes.
Of course, clubs are free to book whomever they want; however, I tend to think this particular strategy of ambush-sets will not last very long. People who don't want to see Louis CK perform really don't want to see him, and "be aware, Louis CK might suddenly do a set at any time and you won't know it's coming until after you've paid the cover and are possibly already running up a tab" might possibly negatively affect attendance all month, or at least until CK's sekrit set happens.
