Chris Rock has been receiving a lot of support post the infamous slapgate incident at Oscars 2022 and that was evident with the spike in the ticket sales of his standup comedy that commenced on Wednesday, March 30, at Wilbur Theater in Boston. The comedian told a Boston audience on Wednesday that he was "still processing" being slapped by Smith at the Oscars and that he will discuss it "at some point."

During the second night of the show, the Wilbur Theater crowd had "a lot of extra energy" and the audience's excitement was clear from the start of Rock's 8 pm concert, as told by a spectator. "Someone yelled 'f**k Will Smith,' and he went 'no, no, no,'" an audience member, who did not want to be identified, told New York Post. "[Rock] said it like five or six times as he walked across the stage," the woman recounted.
