You know the story about Chris Rock and the brick, right?

Allegedly, he was a smaller boy and verbally and physically bullied. One day, he came back with a brick in a bag and swing on the bully...  Did some damage.  Didn't fight much after that. Allegedly.

He's not talking much now about what happened to him Sunday night.

BOSTON — Chris Rock wasn’t defiant, but he was clear: If you came to his first gig since the Oscars looking for him to riff about the slap seen around the world, you might want to ask for your money back.

“Let me do a show, y’all,” Rock mock-pleaded after being greeted by a long standing ovation. “Don’t get all misty and s---.”

And after a slight pause, Rock looked out into the sold out Wilbur Theatre and asked: “How was your weekend?”

...

Rock, dressed all in white onstage, chose not to even mention Will Smith, whose angry attack during the Academy Awards broadcast has become the main topic in the world of entertainment and culture.

“I had like a whole show I wrote before the weekend,” he said. “And I’m still kind of processing what happened. At some point, I’ll talk about that s---.”

A man in the balcony yelled, “Sue him, Chris; sue him, Chris,” in reference to the “King Richard” star.

Rock, 57, didn’t even pause before launching into his routine.

“You know what the problem with covid is? Not deadly enough.”
