“I'm still kind of processing what happened”: Chris Rock took the stage in Boston to roars of approval.
even began his new hour-long set onstage at the Wilbur Theater in Boston on Wednesday night — the opening performance of his new US tour, and his first public appearance since The Slap — he had to wait through not one but two standing ovations, plus a guy who shouted out “Fuckweekend?” Rock began, grinning exactly the way you’re picturing right now.
Then, with the same grace he displayed on Sunday night, he segued from slap-happy Will Smith to the shit he wanted to talk about, like why Covid wasn’t deadly enough. “AIDS,” he said, “broke up Queen… I’ve been wearing a mask on my dick for 25 years.” He mocked anti-vaxxers who protest that they don’t know what’s in the shot. “I don’t know what’s in Fruit Loops,” Rock said, “but I know what’s not in there: fruit.
After 59 minutes, Rock had pulled off something incredible under the circumstances: he managed to banish nearly all thoughts of Will Smith from our minds. It was lurking the whole time, though. About halfway through the show, in the middle of a long story about his daughter getting in big trouble at her very expensive high school, a few audience members started getting loud with each other; Rock tried to talk through the commotion but eventually he stopped and asked if everything was okay.
