Many local comedians are hitting the stage for the first time this weekend since the infamous 'slap' by Will Smith during the Oscars.
NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania -- Many local comedians are hitting the stage for the first time this weekend since the infamous"slap" by Will Smith after Chris Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair during the Oscars. Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with hair loss.
Immediately after the Oscars, comedians like Kathy Griffin and Rainn Wilson sounded off about what this could mean for comedians safety moving forward.Currently, he is hosting multiple comedians at rotating locations since he moved from his Royersford location."Whether you think Will Smith was defending his wife, there is a way that you handle it.
One of SoulJoel's comedians, Dan Callahan, opened a show Friday night at the Westover Country Club with a"G.I. Joe" joke, a nod to the joke by Chris Rock that sparked the slap by Will Smith."Give it up one time for every guy that's going to star in the next G.I. Joe movie...had to get that out of the way," joked Callahan."The guy grabbed the comic by the ankles and threw him off the stage, and before you know it, it turned into a brawl," he said.
Then just recently, someone in the audience during another SoulJoel comedian's set also became unruly. "We had an incident two weeks ago. A comic did an off-color joke, and this lady started abruptly yelling at the comic, and he said, 'You know the best thing about a stand-up comic is you can give me feedback right away by laughing or not, and I will understand it's time to move on.' It's a perfect reaction. There doesn't have to be anything physical," said Richardson.
