Chris Rock addressed the Will Smith Oscars slap during his latest comedy show with Dave Chappelle in England. Rock and Chappelle began their joint tour at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Thursday where they both discussed being attacked while performing shows. "Did that s--t hurt?" Rock told the audience, according to The Times, who shared a review of the evening. "Godd--n right… the motherf---er hit me over a bulls--t joke, the nicest joke I ever told." Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock in the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Rock's bit was followed by Chappelle, who also addressed the slap along with his own attack on stage at The Hollywood Bowl. Chappelle was tackled by an audience member on May 3.The suspect, identified as Isaiah Lee, was carrying a replica gun with a knife blade inside it during the alleged attack. "That was some scary s--t," Chappelle told the audience before noting that the attack was upstaged by Rock making his way onstage and saying, "Was that Will Smith?" The stand-up comedian continued to talk about the Oscars moment, noting the decision to slap Rock was a "very strange choice" by Smith.
