Chris Rock Comedy Tour Sees Surge in Ticket Sales After Will Smith Slap
NY Post ^ | March 28, 2022 | Sara Nathan and Gabrielle Fonrouge

Chris Rock will return to the stage for his ongoing comedy tour this week, after being slapped by Will Smith on the Oscars stage Sunday night over a joke he made about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

The on-screen altercation is one of the most dramatic unplanned events to occur in Academy Awards history, made even more peculiar by Smith accepting the award for best actor less than an hour after his outburst. However, the dramatic moment did seem to inspire some viewers to buy tickets to see Rock perform live; one secondary ticketing marketplace, TickPick, reports that they have sold more tickets to the comedian’s tour overnight than they did in the past month combined. They also claim that ticket prices have surged since Sunday night, going up from a minimum of $46 per ticket on March 18 to a minimum of $341.

Agree!

Nothing like doing some silly something - that’s “one of the most dramatic unplanned events to occur in Academy Awards history” 🙄 - to try to get years of horrid ratings up.

Did Smith actually make contact with him? Rock didn’t even rub his face. The whole thing made Will Smith look weak as he lost his temper over a lame joke to defend the honor of his wife who has sex with other men. Probably staged.

Chris Rock has done two things that are,IMO,very good and very courageous. One is called “How Not To Get Your A$$ Kicked By The Police” and the other is “Black People vs Niggaz”. Both were done some time ago and both are easily found on youtube.

Since then, though, Rock went completely woke.
