Comedian Chris Rock is performing in public Wednesday for the first time since Oscar-winning actor Will Smith slapped him for a joke about Smith's wife during the Academy Awards show.

Rock's first set begins at 7:30 p.m. in Boston. The performance comes just three days after Smith slapped Rock on the Oscars stage, stunning the crowd at the 94th Academy Awards and those watching at home.

Smith promptly stood up from his seat at the front of the venue and took to the stage, slapping Rock across the face before sitting back down and yelling at Rock to keep his wife's name out of his mouth. After calling a board of governors meeting Monday to discuss the confrontation, the film academy said it will review Smith's actions and "will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law."

This was not the first time that Rock had made a joke at Pinkett Smith's expense. When he hosted the 2016 Oscars, some people boycotted the ceremony over the .OscarsSoWhite group of nominees, including the Smiths. Said Rock then: "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited."

Chris has this, he showed such class! Winner in my eyes

Best to poop before the show so you don’t have to go during the gig

publicly humiliate Will all you want. BUT Public humiliation of his Wife Crossed so many red lines. Taunting for a Duel Whiny liberals dont understand settling up backstage would forever damage Wills image and Movie income. Immediate Severe public response required

We were all surprised that OscarsSoBlack wasn’t trending on twitter following the incident.
