During his first performance since the Oscars, when Will Smith slapped Rock during the telecast, the comedian didn't roast Smith — he only briefly acknowledged what had happened and said he would talk more about it at some point.

Ticket holders wait to enter The Wilbur Theatre for a performance by Chris Rock on Wednesday.

It was the comedian's first performance since the Oscars when Will Smith slapped Rock during the telecast. Rock had made a comment on stage about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia. Though Rock didn't talk about it, there were plenty of conversations in line about Rock's joke and Smith's response, ranging from reflections on comedy, to reflections on Blackness, Black women and the deep significance of their hair.

Kaselis was hoping to give Rock information about alopecia after the show, but she wasn't able to get last-minute tickets.
