Chris Rock will return to the stage for the first time since Will Smith slapped him at Sunday's Academy Awards. Smith slapped him at Sunday's Academy Awards.
Rock, who has yet to publicly address the incident, will perform two standup shows as part of his ongoing "Ego Death World Tour" at Boston's Wilbur Theater on Wednesday night.
The tour has seen a boost in ticket sales since the Oscars, with Wednesday's performances sold out and a crowd of about a dozen television news crews camped outside the theater.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
